'''Hariyama''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハリテヤマ''' ''Hariteyama'') is a {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Makuhita}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hariyama are very large, hulking and mostly grayish-colored Pokémon that are modeled after sumo wrestlers. Their most notable feature, which they use extensively in battle, is their extremely large orange hands with three fingers. On their heads, they have a pointed, triangular crest, and the V-shaped pattern of dark blue that runs across the tops of their eyes sports a long blue "ponytail" in the back. On the sides of Hariyama's head are its round, stubby ears with visible holes in them. They have a semicircular pattern of orange coloration, shaped somewhat like a rising sun, on their abdomen. Hariyama have yellow skirt-like extensions on their waists and large, thick, dark blue legs with orange, two-toed feet. While Hariyama's body appears to be mostly fat, it is actually mostly muscle.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Like many Fighting-type Pokémon, Hariyama is extremely physically strong. Hariyama's Arm Thrust could snap a telephone pole in two or send a 10-ton truck flying. Hariyama is able to learn the move {{m|Brine}}, despite its Fighting type: possibly a reference to how sumo wrestlers purify the ring with salt before the match.

===Behavior===
Hariyama are competitive Pokémon that love to match their strengths against other big-bodied Pokémon. Hariyama is known to stand on train tracks and stop trains using {{m|Arm Thrust}}. Hariyama also stomps on the ground to build power.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
They can usually be found training in the mountains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==Trivia==
* Every one of Hariyama's base stats are exactly double those of its pre-[[evolution]] {{p|Makuhita}}.
* Hariyama has the highest HP of all Fighting-type Pokémon. It is also the tallest Fighting-type Pokémon.
*In [[Generation III]], Hariyama's front sprite shows it holding its right hand outwards and its left hand behind it, yet its back sprite shows the inverse, with Hariyama holding his right hand behind him and his left hand outwards.
* Oddly, Hariyama's catch rate is higher than Makuhita's.
* Hariyama is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Brine}} by level up that is not a {{t|Water}} type or {{t|Ice}} type.

===Origin===
Hariyama is based on a {{wp|sumo|sumo wrestler}}.

====Name origin====
Hariyama and Hariteyama may be a combination of 張り手''harite'' (an open-hand slap move in sumo), 張り合う ''hariau'' (to compete with), or 張り倒す ''haritaosu'' (to knock down), and 山 ''yama'' (mountain). ''Hariyama'' literally means 針山 (pincushion), and it is also a sumo ranking.

*In [[Generation III]], Makuhita's front sprite shows it lifting its right arm into the air, yet its back sprite clearly shows the left arm being lifted. Likewise with [[Generation IV]], where Makuhita's back sprite is lifting its left arm into the air, but the front sprite shows both arms hanging by its side.
* In [[Generation V]], Makuhita's cheek color changed from the earlier red to a purple-like color.
* Makuhita has a lower catch rate than its evolution.

===Origin===
Makuhita is based on a {{wp|sumo|sumo wrestler}}.

'''Slaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケッキング''' ''Kekking'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Vigoroth}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Slakoth}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Slaking are large, bulky, ape like Pokémon. Most of their fur is brown in coloration, along with the ring patterning encircling their eyes, but their face, chest, hands and feet are lighter in color. Their brows are thick and jutting. Slaking have a white collar of fur around their necks, extending towards the top of their head in a small tuft, somewhat resembling a bonnet. Slaking also have a pink, pig like nose.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
While this Pokémon doesn't appear to do much most of the time, it has immense physical strength, stamina and surprisingly enough, speed. Much like other normal types, it can be taught quite a number of elemental attacks.

===Behavior===
Slaking are the laziest of all Pokémon. They spend most of their time lying in grassy fields to eat barely doing anything; however, when threatened, they will suddenly get up and strike with great power. If the grass they've eaten around them is gone, they move to a new spot with more grass.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
[[File:Normaking.jpg|right|thumb|210px|Norman and his Slaking]]
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Slaking usually eat grass that is in reach of them. Slaking also eat fruit, but they just wait until the fruits fall down from the trees instead just climbing up and picking them.

==In the anime==
{{TP|Norman|Slaking}} made its debut appearance in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', belonging to {{an|May}}'s father, [[Norman]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Petalburg City]]. In [[AG070|the following episode]], {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} defeated it in battle, winning Ash the {{badge|Balance}}.

A giant Slaking appeared in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', but it was a robot controlled by [[Team Rocket]].

[[Norman]]'s Slaking appeared in ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' watching the [[Wallace Cup]] on television with Norman.

==Trivia==
*Slaking has the third highest base attack of any Pokémon in any game. It is tied with {{p|Regigigas}} and is surpassed by {{p|Rampardos}} and {{p|Deoxys}}'s [[Form differences#Deoxys|Attack Forme]].
*Slaking has the highest base stat average of any non-legendary Pokémon.
*Although Slaking is said to slack off like {{p|Slakoth}}, it gains a higher speed stat upon evolving from {{p|Vigoroth}} (Although Vigoroth does not have Truant).
*In double battles, Slaking's Truant ability can easily be nullified using {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Gastro Acid}}. Several trainers in {{game|Emerald}} use this power, including [[Norman]] during the player's rematches with him. Without Truant, Slaking can make full use of its impressive stats.
*Slaking is commonly mistaken as a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon because of its incredibly high base stats, however it isn't one because it doesn't have a base stat total of 600 and lacks having two different types.
*In Pokémon Ruby and Pokēmon Sapphire, Norman has two Slaking, one at Lv.28 and another at Lv.31. This is technically impossible, as Vigoroth evolves into Slaking at Lv.36. The problem still remains in Pokémon Emerald, but Norman only has one Slaking, at Lv.31.

===Origin===
It appears to draw inspiration from {{wp|sloth}}s and some form of {{wp|ape}}. The inspiration from sloths makes it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Megatherium}}, also known as the Giant Ground Sloth, however, it more closely resembles a {{wp|gorilla}}.
====Name origin====
Slaking's name is a combination of ''slake'', meaning to slacken, and ''king'', and/or possibly just the word slacking. Its Japanese name is a combination of 怠ける ''namakeru'', to be idle, or 怠け者 ''namakemono'', sloth, and ''king''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Letarking
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Monaflemit - From ''monarch'' and ''flemme'' (slacking off).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 게을킹 ''Ge-eulking''

The '''Distortion World''' (Japanese: '''やぶれたせかい''' ''Torn World'') is a location in {{game|Platinum}}, and the true home of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Giratina}}.

The Distortion World is first accessed when the player reaches the summit of [[Mt. Coronet]], [[Spear Pillar]], to stop [[Team Galactic]]'s plot to control {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. When the [[lake trio]] are unable to handle both of them, Giratina comes and swoops on [[Cyrus]] to stop him from destroying both worlds. After Cyrus is taken away by Giratina, the {{player}} must follow him, and, with the help of {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}} and [[Cynthia]], navigate the area.

More of the 3D capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS]] are utilized in the Distortion World than elsewhere in [[Sinnoh]], with the strange physics of the world altered to a point where the player is able to walk on ceilings and {{m|Surf}} on water that is at right angles with the norm, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}.

When in the Distortion World, {{p|Giratina}} will be in its true form, the [[Origin Forme]]. The [[Griseous Orb]], found here, can be used to make Giratina assume this form outside of the Distortion World, where it would normally be in its [[Altered Forme]].

During the {{player}}'s first trip to the Distortion World in Platinum, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Uxie}} will guide them around, helping them in the {{m|Strength}} puzzle.

The Distortion World is made up of {{wp|antimatter}}, which balances out the matter in the normal world, although antimatter is a frailer substance. It is a paradox of time and space that exists in relation to {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

==Geography==
The Distortion World is said to be another universe or world parallel to the [[Pokémon world]]. Two known gateways to it exist: one at the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] on [[Spear Pillar]], and another in [[Turnback Cave]].

It is a dark place with platforms floating at many different angles. The world disobeys the normal {{wp|laws of physics}}: time does not flow and spatial relations are irregular, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is Giratina.

[[Cynthia]] and [[Cyrus]] theorize that this world was created by Giratina as a balance for the real world.

* An anime-exclusive place, the [[Reverse World]], may be the anime version of the Distortion World; both locations are home only to {{p|Giratina}} (in its Origin Forme).
*Although time is said to not flow here, events affected by time, such as {{p|Eevee}}'s evolution to {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}}, still occur, and the [[Pokétch]]'s clock continues to function.
*During the first visit here, players will have to {{m|surf}} up a waterfall, yet the HM {{m|Waterfall}} is not needed.
*In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did for G4, it was revealed that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}. The Distortion World's antimatter affects the real world's matter and vice versa, though they mentioned that antimatter is more fragile than real matter.

'''Farfetch'd''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カモネギ''' ''Kamonegi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Farfetch'd resemble ducks. They have glossy brown plumage with a small crest. It also bears black plumage on its forehead that resembles eyebrows.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Its wings are a bit more versatile than most birds' as their feathers can be used as "fingers", allowing it to carry a leek, or spring onion.

===Behavior===
Farfetch'd are always seen carrying a leek stalk, or spring onion. They carry it in their wings and sometimes choose to hold it in their beaks instead. Farfetch'd cannot live without its stick for unknown reasons, and will defend their stick with their life. The stick is also known to be used as nesting material and as a weapon. In case of an emergency situation where the Farfetch'd is starving, it will eat its own stick and hurry off to find a new one.

They are known to be picky in the kinds of sticks they accept. Farfetch'd have been known to fight each other over one 'good' stalk.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]

Farfetch'd are found in grasslands, but it always has to be near water. Farfetch'd are also very good swimmers and are often found swimming in ponds.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Farfetch'd are an omnivorous species and will usually eat weeds and water plants.

==In the anime==
[[Image:SoNearYetSoFarfetch'd.gif|right|thumb|Farfetch'd in the anime]]
Farfetch'd made its first appearance in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'' under the ownership of {{ka|Keith}}.

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off, Day Off]]'', Farfetch'd lived on a deserted island which is the home of many different fruit trees.

It was also showcased in ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'' where [[Team Rocket]] planed to eat it, an aspect of [[Pokémon world]] rarely touched on in the anime.

In ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', multiple Farfetch'd appeared when {{an|Crystal}} whistles.

In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit]]'', a Farfetch'd was used by [[Brock]]'s battle partner [[Holly]] against {{Ash}} and [[Paul]].

A Trainer used a Farfetch'd in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] in [[DP124]].

==In the manga==
Farfetch'd is the Pokémon owned by an [[Azalea Town|Azalean]] boy as seen in {{PSV|8}} of [[Pokémon Special]]. Both boy and Farfetch'd fell victim to the onslaught of [[Pryce]]'s Pokémon in the depths of [[Ilex Forest]].

[[Bill]] is later seen in {{PSV|10}} riding a Farfetch'd as a mode of transport to pass {{Special|Crystal}} the Portable Pokémon Transporter.

==In the TCG==

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}: The charcoal makers of [[Azalea Town]] own a Farfetch'd. However, it won't listen to the apprentice and runs off in the [[Ilex Forest]]. Herding it back to him earns the player an {{HM|01|Cut}}.

==Trivia==
* In numerical order, Farfetch'd is the first Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that does not have an [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution family]]. It is also one of several remaining {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, excluding legendaries, that does not evolve into or from something in later generations, along with {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Ditto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
* Only the [[Generation IV]] and Red/Green frontal sprites show Farfetch'd holding its stick in its wing. The other frontal sprites depict it holding its stick in its beak.
* Farfetch'd can learn {{m|Fury Cutter}} by level up in [[Generation III]], but it is incompatible with the Generation III [[move tutor]] that teaches the same move. It can, however, learn it through a move tutor in {{v2|Platinum}}.
* Farfetch'd is one of the few Pokémon to continuously carry something they pick up or find. Others include {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Marowak}} and {{p|Spoink}}.
* Farfetch'd is the only Pokémon with an apostrophe in its name.
* Farfetch'd is so far the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 352.
* Despite the fact that Farfetch'd uses a plant as a sword, it can't learn {{m|Leaf Blade}}.
* According to the anime, Farfetch'd are rare because of over-hunting them for food. Counting {{p|Miltank}}'s [[MooMoo Milk|milk]] and {{p|Tropius}}'s fruit, Farfetch'd is one of the few Pokémon confirmed to be used in some way for food.

===Origin===
Farfetch'd's origin might come from legends of a duck that carries a leek coming to lost and starving travelers in forests, offering itself to be eaten.

====Name origin====
Farfetch'd's name comes from the word ''farfetched'', which means unbelievable. It could also refer to the game of {{wp|fetch}}, which animals play using sticks. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鴨 ''kamo'', {{wp|wild duck}}, and 葱 ''negi'', {{wp|spring onion}}. Additionally, 鴨葱 ''kamonegi'' is an abbreviation of 鴨が葱をしょって来る, a duck comes bearing spring onions.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Porenta - A combination of ''Porree'' (leek)and ''Ente'' (duck).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Canarticho - From ''canard'' (duck) and ''artichau'' (artichoke), a reference to the vegetable in its hand.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파오리 ''Paori'' - From "파" (pa, onion/scallion) and "오리" (ori, duck).
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 火蔥鴨 - 火蔥, {{wp|Shallot}}, and 蔥 is the chinese word of 葱.

'''Blastoise''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カメックス''' ''Kamex'') is a {{type2|Water}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wartortle}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Squirtle}}.

Blastoise is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], appearing on the boxart.

== Biology ==
=== Physiology ===
Blastoise is a large, bipedal, blue tortoise with a brown shell and two water cannons that jut out of the top of its shell. The cannons can be withdrawn inside the shell, or rotated to point backwards; this enables Blastoise to commence jet assisted rams.
====Gender differences====
None.
===Special abilities===
Blastoise can {{m|Hydro Cannon|shoot water from its cannons}} with enough force to punch holes in steel, and enough accuracy to hit an empty can 160 feet away.

===Behavior===
Despite their size, Blastoise are very gentle and calm Pokémon. They may be weary at first but can be very good allies in {{pkmn|battle}}. They mainly take the role of leaders in large groups of {{p|Squirtle}} or {{p|Wartortle}}.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Blastoise can be found living on island beaches near the ocean, but their preferred habitat seems to be freshwater ponds and lakes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

== In the anime ==
[[Image:Gary_blastoise.jpg|thumb|right|{{Gary}} and his {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'' a Blastoise that was ruling over an island of Squirtle and Wartortle had a {{an|Jigglypuff}} stuck in one its cannons and its {{m|Sing|song}} made everyone fall asleep.

====[[Gary's Blastoise]]====
Gary has a Blastoise that he originally received as a Squirtle from [[Professor Oak]].

[[Image:CissyBlastoise.jpg|thumb|right|[[Cissy]] and her {{TP|Cissy|Blastoise}}.]]
====[[Cissy's Blastoise]]====
[[Cissy]] used a Blastoise against {{Ash}} and his {{p|Lapras}} in a Wave Race for the {{Badge|Coral-Eye}} during ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]''.

[[Image:BlastoiseAnime.jpg|thumb|right|'Shellshocker' in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'']]
====Other====
[[Neesha]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who went to [[New Island]] in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', had a Blastoise named "Shellshocker". It fought with {{an|Mewtwo}}'s cloned Blastoise and lost. It was taken away from her by one of Mewtwo's special [[Poké Ball]]s but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and another Trainer's {{p|Venusaur}}, they were the only taken away Pokémon not to be cloned, this could be because Mewtwo didn't need more than one copy of each Pokémon and it already had their clones.

In ''[[EP106|The Pokémon Water War]]'', [[Captain Aiden]] had a team of Blastoise, Wartortle, and Squirtle that were used to extinguish fires.

{{ho|Jimmy}}'s Wartortle evolved into Blastoise in ''[[AG092|Judgement Day!]]''.

[[Lola]] has a Blastoise which she used to rescue {{ka|Flint}}'s {{p|Golem}} after the latter was beaten in a {{pkmn|battle}}.

[[Sid]] has a Blastoise in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''.

In ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part Two]]'', [[Kellyn]] had three Blastoise use {{m|Rain Dance}} in order to douse a forest fire that was caused by [[J]]'s {{p|Salamence}}.

===Minor appearances===
Blastoise first appeared as a giant mechanical Pokémon in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} created an illusion of Blastoise in order to frighten [[Ash's Squirtle]]. Gastly subsequently combined this Blastoise with an illusionary {{p|Venusaur}} to create a ''Venustoise'', which terrified both Squirtle and Bulbasaur out of battling.

The first time a real Blastoise appeared in was in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''. It was in Ash's flashback in an advertisement for the contest in which he won his special {{AP|hat}}.

During ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', [[Team Rocket]] used a Blastoise against [[Ash's Pikachu]] in an elaborate plan to capture it.

A {{pkmn|Coordinator}} used a Blastoise in the {{to|Verdanturf}} Contest.

A Blastoise is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

== In the manga ==
In [[Pokémon Special]], one of {{Special|Blue}}'s main Pokémon is a [[Blasty|Blastoise]], evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} she stole from [[Professor Oak]].

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], {{OBP|Shigeru|Zensho}}'s Squirtle eventually evolved into a Blastoise that fought {{OBP|Satoshi|Zensho}}'s {{p|Charizard}} for the title of Champion of the Pokémon League.

== In the TCG ==
{{main|Blastoise (TCG)}}

== Other appearances ==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Blastoise will use {{m|Hydro Pump}} in one direction. Each Pump moves Blastoise backwards slightly making it a danger to those fighting behind it as well. Blastoise's trophy also refers to Blastoise as the 'Definitive Water Type'.
====Trophy information====
Blastoise is the next evolutionary step after Wartortle. The thick jets of water they shoot from the cannons on their backs are strong enough to cut through steel plating. When in danger, they hide inside their armored shells. Blastoise is so popular among trainers that it's considered the definitive {{type2|Water}}.

==Game data==
=== NPC appearances ===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Blastoise is the leader of Team Hydro, a [[Rank#Mystery Dungeon|Bronze Rank]] rescue team. It joins a new team to designed to rescue [[Team A.C.T.]] from [[Magma Cavern]] but fails to reach them. Blastoise appears to go exploring a lot as it discovers [[Western Cave]] and [[Meteor Cave]]. It reaches the end of Western Cave with {{p|Charizard}} but is defeated by {{p|Mewtwo}}. Blastoise is quick to anger, a feature that Charizard exploits to boost morale.

==Trivia==
* Blastoise's skin color in its sprites has gone from dark blue in [[Generation II]], to light blue in [[Generation III]], and back to dark blue in [[Generation IV]]. There has been no explanation for this shift.
* Blastoise shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. They are all known as Shellfish Pokémon.
* Blastoise has the highest base {{Stat|Special Defense}} of all fully-evolved starter Pokémon.
* In Pokémon Stadium 2, there is a trainer in the eighth battle of Poké Cup Ultra Ball R-2 who has a Blastoise with both {{m|Haze}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}. However, it is impossible to breed both of these moves on the same Blastoise until Generation III.
* Blastoise is the only fully evolved form of a Kanto starter that does not have a secondary type.
* A parody of Blastoise appears in {{wp|The Simpsons Game}} as a Sparklemon.

===Origin===
Its design appears to be a turtle mixed with aspects of a {{wp|tank}}. It might also be partially based on {{wp|Gamera}}. Blastoise's cannons may have been derived from the functioning tubes found in {{wp|mussel}}s and some other shellfish, thus its species name.
====Name origin====
Blastoise's name is a combination of ''blast'', referring to its cannons, and ''{{wp|tortoise}}''. ''Kamex'' comes from the Japanese word for tortoise/turtle, 亀 ''kame'', and possibly マックス ''makkusu'', or ''max'', as in ''maximum''.

Blastoise's name may also come from the word [[wp:Blastoid|Blastoid]], which are an extinct type of stemmed {{wp|echinoderm}} with small hickory nut shaped fossils.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Turtok
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tortank - From ''tortue'' (tortoise) and ''tank''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 거북왕 ''Geobukwang'' - Portmanteau of ''turtle'' and ''king''.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 水箭龜 ''Shűi Jìan Gui'' - "Water rocket turtle".

'''Houndour''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デルビル''' ''Delvil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Houndoom}} starting at [[level]] 24.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Houndour is a dog-like Pokémon with short, black fur. It has a red underbelly and snout. Houndour has short, pointed ears and tail. There are white bands on Houndour's ankles and back. Houndour appears to have a skull on its forehead and ribs on its back. Houndour might be distantly related to {{P|Growlithe}} since both of them are canine Pokémon, are both {{type2|Fire}}s, are in the same egg group, and grow at the same rate.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Houndour is capable of various {{t|Dark}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (including the rarely known {{m|Beat Up}} attack). Houndour can also use a couple of {{type2|Poison}} damaging moves and {{m|Thunder Fang}}.

Houndour hunting packs show off unparalleled teamwork.

===Behavior===
Houndour normally travel in packs. They are very protective of one another and will not abandon any of its pack if they are hurt.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Houndour are predatory Pokémon that mainly eat small mammals.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cassidy's Houndour.png|thumb|right|Cassidy's Houndour]]
Houndour made its anime debut in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]''. A pack of these Pokémon were stealing food to aid their badly wounded leader. {{Ash}} helped the ailing Houndour to a [[Pokémon Center]].

A Houndour also appeared in ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]''. This particular Houndour can normally be seen chasing the [[Pichu Brothers]].

[[Cassidy]]'s Houndour debuted in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]''.

A Houndour chased the Pichu Brothers twice in ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''. It's unknown if this Houndour is the same in ''Pikachu and Pichu'' but it seems improbable since that Houndour made friends with the Pichu Brothers.

A Houndour also made a minor appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Gold}} is attacked by and defeated by 4 [[Pokémon]], including a Houndour, when he enters the [[Ilex Forest]], and is then warned to stay out by the [[Mask of Ice]].

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Despite being a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, it was actually native to [[Kanto]] in Pokémon {{3v|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. The same is true for {{p|Murkrow}} and {{p|Slugma}}.
* The only two games in which Houndour can be caught before viewing the end credits are {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} and {{game|Platinum}}.
* Houndour is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister (Sinnoh)|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Houndour and Houndoom are the only Pokémon with Fire as a secondary type.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[elemental types|type]] combination as Houndour and its {{p|Houndoom|evolution}}.
* The fact that Houndour can use the move {{m|Beat Up}} may be a referance to pack tactics used in battle.

===Origin===
Houndour is similar to a {{wp|Doberman Pinscher|Doberman}}, but it may have been inspired by {{wp|Cerberus}} or other legends of hellhounds.
====Name origin====
Its name is a combination of ''{{wp|hound}}'' and ''dour'', or harshness. Its Japanese name is a corruption of ''{{wp|devil}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Hunduster - A combination of ''Hund'' (dog) and ''düster'' (dire).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Malosse - From ''mal'' (evil) and ''molosse'' ({{wp|Molossus (dog)|Molossian hound}}).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 델빌 ''Delbil''

Team Rocket

Anoritian:

[[Team Rocket]], as with any well-organized criminal organization, has certain ranks. It's not known if any of these are in any established hierarchical order, although the below table shows the apparent status of Team Rocket members and their ranks.

Although there are some exceptions, most Team Rocket members are referred to as [[Rocket]]s and can usually be identified by a large red R on their shirts. [[Team Rocket uniform]]s can be white ([[Jessie]]), black ([[Cassidy]]) or silver ([[Hun]]). While most Rockets seem to wear black uniforms, it is unknown if the color has a purpose.

The ranks in the following table are a result of [[fanon|fan speculation]].

==Ranks and examples==
{|
|-
! Boss
| [[Giovanni]], [[Madame Boss]]
|-
! Elite Officer
| [[Domino]], [[Vicious]], [[Miyamoto]]
|-
! High-Ranking Officer
| [[Attila]], [[Hun]], [[Tyson (Team Rocket)|Tyson]]
|-
! Agent
| [[Jessie]], [[James]], [[Butch]], [[Cassidy]]
|-
! Supplier
| [[Mondo]]
|-
! Dogsbody
| [[Team Rocket grunts]]
|}

==Anomalies==
The {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]'' revealed an unexplored side of [[Team Rocket]], introducing jobs within the Team which are not those of action, but of business. {{an|Wendy}}, for example, works in personnel, and the [[Rocket Scout]] works in seeking out people worthy of becoming Rocket members. Because they are special in this way, they are not included in the above table.

'''Cyrus''' (Japanese: '''アカギ''' ''Akagi'') is [[Team Galactic]]'s leader.

Cyrus disregards all emotions, thinking of them as products of a weak human heart. His goal is to remake the {{pkmn|universe}} in his own image, with himself as the god. He was born and raised in [[Sunyshore City]], as noted in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} by an elderly couple residing there. When Cyrus was young, he was a very good student; however, he still did not live up to his parents' expectations. In addition, he was antisocial, preferring the company of machines over humans. His grandfather, who lives on [[Route 228]], regrets not taking him in during his time of need.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cyrus anime.jpg|thumb|left|240px|Cyrus in the anime]]
He made his first appearance in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'', along with [[Mars]], [[Jupiter]] and [[Saturn]]. It was revealed that he is a rich businessman who has made most of the buildings and libraries throughout [[Sinnoh]]. However, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the others}} do not know that he is also the [[Team Galactic]] leader. Using his businessman alter-ego, he visits the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]] while the remaining members of [[Team Galactic]] carry out a plan to steal the [[Lustrous Orb]] from the Research Center, after having already stolen the [[Adamant Orb]] from its [[Eterna City]] police escort.

He discovers from {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} that they have seen {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Mesprit}} when the two tell of their encounters with the mysterious Pokémon at [[Lake Verity]] and [[Lake Valor]]. This apparently intrigues him, indicating that he will have future, possibly not as friendly, encounters with the group.

He appeared again in ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]''. He was seen in Team Galactic's headquarters alongside Saturn and Jupiter as well as [[Charon]]. They were coordinating Mars' mission on [[Iron Island]] and using a beam launched with the [[Spear Key]] to scan energy readings from the [[Spear Pillar]]. However, Mars' machine was destroyed when the scan had reached only 60%, presumably ruining their mission. Despite this, Cyrus did not appear to be discouraged.

==In the games==
==={{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}===
The player first meets him in [[Mt. Coronet]], but he does not battle, nor give his name. Later on, the two men guarding [[Lake Valor]] will mention his name in passing, though Cyrus himself is not identified until he introduces himself after the {{player}} defeats a [[Galactic Grunt]] and investigates the ruins in [[Celestic Town]].

Upon being defeated at Mt. Coronet, Cyrus claims he will have revenge and disappears. His assets and duties are left to [[Saturn]].

====Quotes====
=====Mt. Coronet=====
''According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. In a newly created world... A world where only time flowed and space expanded.. There should have been no strife. But what became of that world? Because the human spirit is weak and incomplete, strife has appeared... This world is being ruined by it...I find the state of things to be deplorable...''
=====Celestic Town=====
''There appears to have been an insignificant struggle here. Everyone should step back and view things from a bigger perspective. Yes, a bigger perspective, one that is on a universal scale. My name is Cyrus. I seek the power to create a new world, a world without strife. However that power seems to be unavailable here... We've met before, yes? It was at Mt. Coronet. If you discover any power derived from the legends of Sinnoh, inform me. For that power is what I need to create my new world.
=====Team Galactic HQ=====
*Before battle:
''I see. You must be the Trainer I've been hearing about. The foolhardy one that's trying to stand up to Team Galactic. Although I'd hardly expected to see that the Trainer is a mere child. I'd heard that our Commanders had a rough time with you... I know why you're here, I can sense it in you. It's about {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, correct? You want to save them... I no longer have any need for them. I am finished with them. If your heart aches to save them, go right ahead, I couldn't care less. It will save me the trouble of disposing of them.''

''But I must say... You are a remarkable specimen. Those Pokémon have nothing to do with you, do they not? But still you came to rescue them out of pity? Such pitifully useless emotions... It's illogical and irrational. Pity and compassion are products of the weak and lacking human heart. You were compelled to come here by vacuous sentimentality! I will make you regret paying heed to your heart!''
*After sending out last Pokémon:
''My last Pokémon.''

*During battle:
''I see... I may lose if this pace continues...''

*When defeated:
''Interesting and quite curious.''

*After battle:
''I see. You are indeed strong. And the basis of your power is your compassion toward Pokémon. How wasteful... Such emotions are but mere illusions. And, like all illusions, they fade over time until death banishes them forever. That is why I have abandoned all emotions as useless sentimentality. But that doesn't matter. I doubt you will ever understand my position. That said, I recognise that you are strong and courageous to come alone. This is your reward.''

''The Master Ball is the ultimate Poké Ball. It will unfailingly catch any Pokémon in the wild. But it is not anything that I require. Unlike you Trainers, I do not make Pokémon my friends or partners. Unlike other Team Galactic members, I don't use Pokémon as tools. Instead, I make the power of Pokémon my own. If you wish to save the Pokémon from the lakes, take the warp panel ahead. I am off to Mt. Coronet. That's correct. Mt. Coronet. Where you and I first met. I will ascend the mountain to its peak and put an end to everything... No. I will bring about a new beginning for everything...''

=====Spear Pillar=====
''Now all will end. And everything will begin. With this [[Red Chain]] I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash all your power for me... {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} the mythical Pokémon and the master of time/space! This will bring about the destruction of all things. With everything gone, there will be no fighting and no strife. Can you feel time/space distorting? Only I can choose to stop it. This is the mythical Pokémon that created Sinnoh! Dialga/Palkia the ancient deity of time/space! This world cannot be molded into the ultimate world I seek! It's far easier to create an entirely new world than to change this one! A new world in which I am the ruler of all things! I shall become a deity!''

''Oh! Dialga/Palkia... This is... Fantastic! Beautiful! It's the creating of a new galaxy! My new world! ... Wh-what?!''

*Before battle:
''The Red Chain! It crumbled away to nothing?! But why? Why would {{p|Mesprit}}, the Pokémon of Lake Verity, appear by your side? But never mind that! It's all destroyed! My galaxy is gone! I won't allow this... I will capture those three again and craft another Red Chain! But before I even think about that, I'm going to completely crush you!

*After sending out last Pokémon:
''I admit that you have pushed me to this extreme.''

*During battle:
''This... this cannot be! It's not possible that I lose!''

*When defeated:
''I won't admit this! The power spoken of in mythology... I didn't just make it obey me, I made it my own!''

*After battle:
''What is truly ultimate to you? What do you consider perfection? The most important thing... What shines the brightest... Telling you is meaningless. But I will not give up. I will become a deity one day... And I will make the ultimate mine...'''

==={{game|Platinum}}===
In Platinum, Cyrus is first met at [[Lake Verity]]. He is also met in front of the statue in [[Eterna City]] and in [[Mt. Coronet]]. Unlike before, he is first battled in the ruins of [[Celestic Town]] and again at their base in [[Veilstone City]]. After summoning both Dialga and Palkia at Spear Pillar, he is taken by {{p|Giratina}} to the [[Distortion World]]. After the player battles Giratina, Cyrus stays in the Distortion World, still vowing to create a world without spirit.

I seek an entirely new world solely for myself. If not, it could never be the complete and perfect world. You've seen my minions of Team Galactic. You yourself must know that they are uniformly useless and incomplete.''

''I know why you're here. I can sense it in you. It's about {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, correct? You want to save them... I no longer have any need for them. I am finished with them. If your heart aches to save them, go right ahead. I couldn't care less. It will save me the trouble of disposing them.''

''But, I must say... You are a remarkable specimen. Those Pokémon have nothing to do with you, do they? But still you come to rescue them out of pity? Such pitifully useless emotions... It's illogical and irrational. Pity and compassion are products of the weak and faulty human heart. You were compelled to come here by such vacuous sentimentality! I will make you regret paying heed to your heart!''
*After sending out last Pokémon:
''My last Pokémon.''

*During battle:
''I see... I may lose if this pace continues...''

*When defeated:
''Interesting. And quite curious.''

*After battle:
''I see... You are indeed strong. And the basis of your power is your compassion towards Pokémon.''

''...How wasteful... Such emotions are but mere illusions. And, like all illusions, they fade over time until death banishes them forever. That is why I have abandoned all emotions as useless as sentimentality.''

''...But that doesn't matter. I doubt you will ever understand my position. That said, I recognize that you are strong and courageous to come alone. This is your reward.''

''The Master Ball is the ultimate Poké Ball. It will unfailingly catch any Pokémon in the wild. But it is not anything that I require. Unlike you Trainers, I do not make Pokémon my friends or partners. Unlike other Team Galactic members, I don't use Pokémon as tools. Instead, I make the power of Pokémon my own.''

''If you wish to save the Pokémon from the lakes, take the warp panel ahead. I am off to Mt. Coronet. I will ascend the mountain to its peak where destiny awaits me. It is there that I will create my new world...''

=====Spear Pillar=====
''... ... Everything is ready for the creation of a new world. Now, all will end. And everything will begin. With this, the Red Chain made from the crystals of the three lake Pokémon. And this, the Red Chain I replicated with technological means... With these Red Chains I will pry open the portal to another dimension. I command that you unleash your power for me...''

''{{p|Dialga}}, the mythical Pokémon, and the master of time! ...And the other. {{p|Palkia}}, the mythical Pokémon, and the master of space and dimensions!''

''I've waited so long for this moment, Dialga and Palkia. Shaping this world is a double spiral of time and space. Yes, the very things that you have the ability to control! You will do my bidding! I will have your abilities as mine! With the power I wield, I will create an entirely new world! The incomplete and ugly world we have now can disappear. I am resetting everything to zero. Nothing can remain. It is all for making the ultimate world. A world of complete perfection. Nothing so vague and incomplete as spirit can remain.''

''...I should have expected as much. {{p|Uxie}}, "The Being of Knowledge." {{p|Azelf}}, "The Being of Willpower." And {{p|Mesprit}}, "The Being of Emotion"...''

''The Pokémon have come to protect Sinnoh? Pathetic and worthless. It takes the three of them,the three lake Pokémon that symbolize spirit, to balance either the Pokémon of time or space. But they can't maintain balance against the two. Not when both Dialga and Palkia are here. Their coming here is in vain. So much meaningless drama. Now, [player]. You've constantly interfered with my plans, but you will be forgiven. After all, there will remain no spirit for all time when I am done. All spirit will disappear. It will be ripped away... From you! From your Pokémon! From those precious to you...! It is time! My dream will be my reality!''

''What is this pressure I feel...? Something...is enraged?''

''Interesting. So, there is a Pokémon that can only appear as a shadow.''

''Regardless, the effort is rash and foolish. I have harnessed the powers of Dialga and Palkia...''

''I, Cyrus, won't have any more interferererererere...!''

=====Distortion World=====
''... The shadowy Pokémon isn't here. It abandoned me here, then disappeared somewhere farther down... Was it content to merely interfere with my plan...? Incidentally, do you understand the concept of genes?''

''... If it's true, you've impressed me. Genes can be considered the blueprints of all life-forms. That includes humans and Pokémon alike. Genes are contained in a DNA strand. A DNA strand consists of 2 chains of opposing characteristics in a spiral. If one of the chains were to be broken, the other could replicate it. One or the other cannot exist without its opposite.''

''Do you understand where I am going with this? This is a bizarre world. Time doesn't flow. Space isn't stable. Only that shadowy Pokémon lives here. This world is the opposite of our world-- our world I wish to change. It is like the two chains composing the strand of DNA. The two worlds must be balancing each other to remain in existence. Without one, the other cannot exist. The shadowy Pokémon must play a role in keeping the worlds in balance. That is why it must have interfered and brought me here. The shadowy Pokémon must have made this bizarre world. That's why trying to change our world disturbed it and made it reveal itself. But that is all irrelevant. What matters is defeating that Pokémon and making this world disappear. I won't allow it to interfere with me again. With it gone, neither world will be able to revert to its original state...''

* Before battle:
''Why should I run and hide from the world and have to wait quietly? My aim is to rid our world of the vague and incomplete thing we call spirit. By freeing ourselves of that, our world can be made complete. That is my justice! No one can interfere!''

''I won't lose! Not to that shadowy Pokémon! Not in any worthless world!''

* After battle:
''... Don't think that you can defeat or capture that Pokémon. This bizarre world is none other than that Pokémon itself! Capturing it or defeating it will make this world disappear! Very well! Do what you will! Rather than repairing the world, you're going to destroy it for me! Do it. You inherit my legacy.''

* After defeating or capturing Giratina:
''That Pokémon... That shadowy Pokémon was captured?! Your doing so means that this irrational world will remain in existence! Does that make it impossible for me to create a new world? Even if I made new Red Chains, the new world can't be made! Why?! What compels you to protect the two worlds? Is spirit, a vague and incomplete thing, so important to you?!''

''Silence! Enough of your blathering! That's how you justify spirit as something worthwhile?! That is merely humans hoping, deluding themselves that they are happy and safe! The emotions broiling inside me... Rage, hatred, frustration... These ugly emotions arise because of my own incomplete spirit! ... Enough. We will never see eye to eye. This, I promise you. I will break the secrets of the world. With that knowledge, I will create my own complete and perfect world. One day, you will awaken to a world of my creation. A world without spirit. ''

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
{{spoilers}}
Cyrus first appears in volume 2, watching [[Mitsumi]]'s contest. He tells [[Hareta]] that he is an old friend of Mitsumi's. His next appearance is in Celestic Town at the ruins, where his name and the objectives of [[Team Galactic]] are revealed. Hareta later engages him in a battle, Weavile versus Piplup. During it he realizes he is actually enjoying the battle, causing him to panic and send out his Gyarados. He then proceeds to command Gyarados to shatter the bridge they were battling on, sending Hareta and Piplup into the water.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese name, {{wp|Akagi}}, is a common surname in Japan, which may indicate that, like [[Giovanni]], his name in Japan is merely his last name, leaving his first unknown. "Akagi" also means "red castle", "red tree", or "red future", the last of which may reference the many deaths that would have taken place if his scheme had come to fruition. It may also refer to the "red chain" which Cyrus needs to summon the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}, at the [[Spear Pillar]]. It could also be in reference to Planet X, also known as the Red Planet, Nibiru, Wormwood, Quetzalcoatl, and many more names. It is an apocalyptic conspiracy, but there are many different theories about what exactly it is.
** Incidentally, there is a volcano called Akagi in the real-world [[wp:Kantō region|Kanto region]] of Japan.
* An old couple in [[Sunyshore City]] mentions that Cyrus was born and raised there. It also happens that [[Team Galactic]] has never attacked the city, perhaps because the leader, Cyrus himself, still has childhood memories of it, or maybe because their scheme was stopped before they could reach Sunyshore.
* Until [[Charon]]'s introduction, Cyrus was the only one of the four major characters of Team Galactic that does not share a name with a planet. Charon's Japanese namesake, {{wp|Pluto}}, is a {{wp|dwarf planet}}, but was considered a planet between its 1930 discovery and 2006. {{wp|Charon (moon)|Charon}} is the largest of Pluto's three moons. This makes Cyrus the only named Team Galactic member who is not named for a solar system object (though his English name is derived from one).
* Cyrus is the first leader of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] to appear in the opening of a {{game3|Platinum|game}}.
* Cyrus has, in a way, more of a role in {{v2|Platinum}}. He appears at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game and at other points in the game and is now battled for the first time in [[Celestic Town]], after the player saves the ruins.
* Although there are only three red gems visible on each of {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, Cyrus will recreate the Red Chain as many times as the player loses to him.
* Cyrus is the only member of Team Galactic shown to have a Crobat, although many are seen to have its {{p|Golbat|previous forms}}.
* Cyrus is the first leader of a [[villainous team]] to have his age confirmed.
** He is also the second leader of a [[villainous team]] to be voiced by [[Sean Schemmel]], the first being [[Archie]].

Wi-Fi Plaza

2009-06-06T15:31:29Z

Anoritian: /* Other features */

[[Image:Wifiplazaart.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Wi-Fi Plaza]]
The '''Wi-Fi Plaza''' (Japanese: '''Wi-Fiひろば''' ''Wi-Fi Plaza'') is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in {{game|Platinum}} found beneath most [[Pokémon Center]]s, downstairs in the Pokémon Center basement. Players from around the world can enter a plaza-like area to play mini-games together via Nintendo Wi-Fi. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players in the plaza. The Wi-Fi Plaza utilizes the [[Nintendo DS|DS]]'s touchscreen, allowing interaction when playing mini-games or playing with tap toys to generate sounds.

In the Wi-Fi Plaza, there are five different type-based rooms that feature certain Pokémon of that type. One of the five rooms is pre-selected randomly before entering the plaza; these rooms don't affect mini-games and other features, but do provide aesthetic differences such as background color and featured Pokémon. The five different types are {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Electric}} and a rare, secret {{p|Mew}}-themed room.

Groups of up to 20 players can enter the Wi-Fi Plaza at one time, allowing generally up to 20-30 minutes of time in the room. Player can exit the Wi-Fi Plaza at anytime by taking the portal where they entered. After the time runs out, the lights dim and fireworks go off. Players can then get a ride on a Pokémon float to go out of the plaza. If they don't get a ride though, they will just exit as though they were disconnecting from Wi-Fi. Players may enter again afterward in a different room but this is only limited to a certain amount of times though. Much like the [[Global Terminal]] and the {{si|Battle Tower}}, friend codes are not needed to enter and play with people around the world.

==Minigames==
There are three mini-games available on the left side of the plaza. Each game can allow up to four players to play. At the game's entrance, the player selects "Join" to join the game and puts out an invitation to other idle players. Once four players have joined, or if at least two players have joined within the time limit, the mini-game will start. If a player wins a game or obtains the most points, their Tap Toy will be upgraded a level.

===Swalot Plop===
[[File:Swalot Plop.png|thumb|right|Swalot Plop]]
'''Swalot Plop''' (Japanese: '''ばくばくマルノーム''' ''Chomp-Chomp Marunoom'') is a game played on a big {{p|Swalot}}-shaped machine which utilizes more of the game's 3D capabilities. Players toss little, round [[Berry|Berries]] into the machine's mouth using the touchscreen. The rotating Swalot swallows the Berries and spits them out later. The player obtaining the most points gets their Tap Toy upgraded. A minimum of two players can play, and a maximum of four players can play.

In the Swalot Plop, there will be 2 rounds every game, the first round will give the player a normal score, while the second round will give a higher score than the first. During the first round, every player will get 100 points for every thrown Berry they get in the Swalot's mouth. The player's score will get another 100 per consecutive Berry tossed in, for example 2 consecutive Berries equals 200 points, while 6 consecutive Berries will equal 600 points. If the player fails to shoot a Berry into the machine's mouth, the scoring will reset and go back to 100 per Berry.

During the second round, the game will remain the same, but the Swalot will spin while closing and opening its mouth, making it harder to throw the Berries in. During the second round, every player will get 300 points for every thrown Berry they get in the Swalot-shaped machine's mouth. The player's score will get another 300 points per consecutive Berry tossed in, for example 2 consecutive Berries equals 600 points, while 6 consecutive berries will equal 1800 points. If the player fails to shoot a Berry into the machine's mouth, the scoring will reset and go back to 300 points per Berry.

===Mime Jr. Top===
[[File:Mime Jr. Top.png|thumb|left|Mime Jr. Top]]
'''Mime Jr. Top''' (Japanese: '''ころころマネネ''' ''Roll-Roll Manene'') is another minigame that uses more of the DS's touch screen capabilities. It features four {{p|Mime Jr.}} balancing on circus balls. Players must try and keep their Mime Jr. on the ball using the stylus. The longer it stays on the ball, the more points the player receives. If a player's Mime Jr. stays on the ball the longest, that player wins the game. A minimum of two players can play, and a maximum of four players can play.

Using the DS's touchscreen, the player must balance on top of a giant circus ball by spinning the balls at different angles so Mime Jr. doesn't fall off. The touch screen will display the player's Mime Jr. and circus ball, while the top screen will display other players' Mime Jr. and circus balls. The circus balls will be colored differently to distinguish between players.

The longer the player stays on the circus ball the higher score the player will get. It is much like a combo
system of multiplication. For every time the ball shines on the player, they will get 100 points and for the next time the player will get 200 points, then 600 points, and so on. The maximum score a player can receive is 100,000 points.

===Wobbuffet Pop===
[[File:Wobbuffet Pop.png|thumb|right|Wobbuffet Pop]]
'''Wobbuffet Pop''' (Japanese: '''どんどんソーナンス''' ''Quick-Quick Sonans'') is a mini-game using the touch screen to pump up balloons by a {{p|Wobbuffet}}-shaped pump. Balloons are pumped with the stylus up and down to earn points. Some {{p|Wynaut}} on the top screen will make it harder for the player to pump balloons. When ten balloons are popped, all players will get the Tap Toy upgrade. A minimum of two players can play, and a maximum of four player can play.

The touch screen will display the player's pump, shaped like a big Wobbuffet, that can be touched to pump the balloons that appear on the top screen. The top screen will also display the other players pumps, and the field, where other {{p|Wynaut}} obstacles bounce. The pumps will be colored different colors to distinguish between players.

This is the only game which other players work together as a team, and the only game where everyone can get a Tap Toy upgrade at the same time.

==Other features==
===Footprint panels===
There are two longs tables on the right side of the plaza, that several people can get access to. Here, players can choose any footprint to place on the table. Once players have selected their footprint, they can touch the canvas and start coloring it with footprints. The color of the footprint will depend on the first type chosen by players upon entering the plaza. After a few seconds, the footprints fade. Each kind of footprint exits in a different way.

===Visitor profiles===
There is a globe on the lower right side of the Wi-Fi Plaza. This is so players can see exactly where everyone else in the room is from, providing they have implemented their location in the [[Global Terminal]].

In addition, by pressing ''X'' or ''Start'', something similar to a trainer card can be seen. It shows the player's last actions, including the people they talked to and the games they have played recently. It also shows their current Tap Toy.

===General inquiries counter===
This is found at the center, in front of Plaza News. Here, players may ask people questions about the Wi-Fi Plaza. The general inquiries counter can give information regarding any of the Wi-Fi Plaza features.

Upon entering, players are asked to choose up to two types. Players may choose only one or even none though.

===Plaza Survey===
Every week, there is a question found on a machine in the center of a plaza, tied to a balloon. These surveys have several choices and players must choose one only. Results of the latest survey topic are shown near closing time while results of the week before can be seen at once. These surveys change every week, but can be answered everyday.

===Plaza News===
This is the big machine found at the center of the plaza, to the Plaza Survey's right. It shows the time left before closing time, the number of people connected and the latest survey topic when it's near closing time.

==Tap Toys==
[[Image:touchtoys.JPG|thumb|right|A Level 1 Balloon]]
Tap Toys are given upon entering the plaza and are controlled on the touch screen. These Tap Toys are given out randomly, while entering the room. They create effects when touched from the touch screen such as sounds and motions. They can also be exchanged or copied from other players when they are not playing any games or doing anything else. For example the bell, once tapped, will create a sound of bell that everyone in the room that are near the player will hear it. Or by touching the balloon, the player will be able to float in the air for a period of time. They are upgraded when one wins in a mini-game. This can occur a maximum of two times per toy as the maximum level is 3. Some Tap Toys include:

* Balloons
* Bells
* Cymbals
* Signal
* Sparkle
* Popper
* Ripple
* Whirl
* Drum

==Rooms==
In the Wi-Fi Plaza, there are five different type-based rooms, that feature certain Pokémon of that type. One of the five rooms is pre-selected randomly before entering the plaza, these rooms don't not affect mini-games and other features, but do provide aesthetic differences such as background color and featured Pokémon. The five different type are {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Electric}} and a rare, secret {{p|Mew}}-themed room. Every time a player wants to enter the plaza, they are sent to a random room featuring certain Pokémon. Until December 17, 2008 (Japan) and starting March 26, 2009 (U.S), players entering Wi-Fi Plaza had a high chance of entering a {{p|Mew}}-themed room with Mew statues, Mew tail lamps, and a Mew boat at the exit. This room was still available afterwards, although the chances were lower.

===Closing time===
When the room is about to close, the background lights will dim and the room will become darker, then different colored lights around the room will begin to illuminate the plaza. This will be the first sign that the plaza's time is running out. Soon after, when time run out, a fireworks display from all around the room will go off. Everyone must exit through the floats, found in the room. Certain Pokémon are featured in the floats going out as well. Similar to the Tap Toys, a button is available at the bottom of the screen upon boarding a float. The button makes the float do certain things, such as {{p|Bulbasaur}} releasing its vines, {{p|Charizard}} breathing fire, {{p|Carnivine}} opening its mouth, {{p|Magnezone}} releasing electricity and several others who just move their body.

==Trivia==
* Two of the mini-games feature [[Team Rocket]]'s Pokémon, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} while another, {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, is featured in one of the floats.
* Most of the featured Pokémon are unavailable in [[Sinnoh]] before obtaining the [[National Pokédex]].
* The Swalot's barbels are much smaller than in the Sugimori artwork. In the machine, its barbels are only up to head level. In the official artwork, they are up to hand level.
*All of the mini-games have names that rhyme, exept of German, where Wobbuffet Pop doesn´t.

Shiny Pokémon

2009-06-06T15:28:36Z

Anoritian:

[[Image:Shiny charizard from (pokemon pokedex colecters edition).JPG|300px|thumb|right|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shining Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]].]]

'''Alternate coloration''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''alternately colored'') of a Pokémon is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. Commonly, this is called being a '''shiny''' (Japanese: '''光る''' ''shining'') Pokémon due to the sparkling sound effect made at the start of an encounter with one in the games.

Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as {{p|Froslass}}, having their shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference. An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar alternate colourations, even if their standard colourations remain consistent; both Ponyta and Rapidash have orange flames, but an alternate coloured Ponyta has blue flames, while an alternate coloured Rapidash has grey flames.

Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to [[form differences|the difference]] between {{p|Unown}} or {{p|Spinda}}.

Also, if a Pokémon is first encountered with an alternate colour, then the Pokédex will have the normal counterpart's colour.

To distinguish the Pokémon from their normally colored counterparts, many fans refer to alternate-colored Pokémon as their color, such as a green {{p|Espeon}} or a gold {{p|Steelix}}.

==In the games==
In the [[version|main series]], alternate coloration was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} and was required for {{game|Crystal}}.
{| align="left"
| [[Image:ShinyGSStars.png|20px|left]]
|-
| height="20px" |
|-
| [[Image:Shinystar.gif|20px|left]]
|}
When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect. In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's cry, while in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, it occurs afterward. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars beside its gender and in Generations III and IV as a large star. In Generation III, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored gold instead of black, and in Generation IV, the number will be colored red.

===Pokémon Stadium===
In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, whether or not they are actually alternate colored. This seems to have been removed from later games.

===Generation II===
[[Image:Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution.jpg|frame|A Red Gyarados.]]
[[Image:130.png|thumb|left|Regular {{p|Gyarados}}.]]
[[Image:Spr 4p 130 m s.png|thumb|left|Red Gyarados.]]
In Generation II, shininess is determined by the [[individual values]] (IVs) of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its shininess. Despite the bonus of backward compatibility allowing for a shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.

Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is approximately 1/8192. However, if one breeds a shiny Pokémon properly, the offspring may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being shiny, depending on the species of Pokémon.

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the main plot of the Generation II games. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an [[Exp. Share]]. The red Gyarados is the only Pokémon in the games that will be shiny without fail.

Shininess is inherent to an individual Pokémon; that is, a Pokémon that starts out shiny will always be shiny, and one that is not will never be (provided its data is unaltered). Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its shiny status. A shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon; however, there is a [[Personality value|difference]] in the determination between {{gen|II}} and Generations {{gen|III}} to {{gen|IV}}.

===Generations III and IV===
In [[Generation III]], most of the [[Template:data structure|data structure]]s were redone. As such, a Pokémon's shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the previous generations. The determinant for shininess is instead a calculation based on the [[Trainer ID number]] of the player encountering it and the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value]] of the Pokémon. The same method is used in [[Generation IV]].

The secret ID and Trainer ID bytewords are first xored together, and then the first byteword of the personality value is xored with the second byteword of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny. This results in a [[Personality_value#Shininess|probability]] of 8 in 65536; simplified as 1/8192 (2-13, or approximately 0.012207%), just as in Generation II. Symbolically:

(Trainer ID) '''xor''' (Secret ID) = E

(First byteword of personality value) '''xor''' (Second byteword of personality value) = F

If E '''xor''' F is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny.

In the [[Trainer Tower]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} there are three Trainers which have shiny Pokémon. In the single battle mode, the seventh Trainer has a shiny {{p|Meowth}}, while in [[double battle]] mode, the first pair of Trainers have a shiny {{p|Espeon}}. In another series of battles, a Trainer will send out a shiny {{p|Seaking}}.

In Generation IV, some Pokémon, such as Mystery Gifts and Ranger Manaphy, can't be shiny due to the game's code. However, the Ranger Manaphy's shininess won't be altered by the game if traded to a second cartridge as an {{pkmn|egg}} (changing the ID and SID). There are other methods which make obtaining alternately colored Pokémon a little bit easier: the [[Masuda method]] and the [[PokéRadar]] slightly raise the probabilities of hatching Pokémon from eggs and catching Pokémon from the wild, respectively.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|right|thumb|A regular {{p|Kecleon}} with a purple Kecleon.]]
It is sometimes thought that the TM Merchant in the first [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is a shiny Pokémon. It is a Kecleon, and although Kecleon are normally green, it is actually purple, including its sprite. However, though it is alternate-colored (like the Kecleon in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''), it is not shiny (shiny Kecleon have a blue stripe instead of a red stripe) and is more likely a different color due to its {{a|Color Change}} ability. It says that it was so excited about [[Wonder Orbs|Orbs]] that it turned rosy-colored.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], a [[Celebi (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|shiny Celebi]] appears, although shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game. Some argue that due to an altered timeline, this particular Celebi is shiny. Others argue that this one has feelings for a [[Grovyle (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|male Pokémon]]. It is shown when the player talks with Celebi at the relay point in the [[Deep Dusk Forest]], where Celebi blushes when trying to deny her feelings for Grovyle. Therefore, the shiny coloring (pink) further emphasizes that this particular Celebi is inherently female. Grovyle also refers to this Celebi as 'she' and 'her'. Also, {{p|Dialga}} appears in different coloration. Like the purple Kecleon, this Dialga is not shiny. Unlike Kecleon, however, this is caused by a collapsing [[Temporal Tower]], resulting in complete loss of self-control, which earns it the name of "[[Primal Dialga]]".

===Super Smash Bros.===
In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Lucario}} each have several different colorations exclusive to the series. One of {{p|Pikachu}}'s alternate colorations is its shiny form wearing [[Red (game)|Red's]] hat; however, all other playable Pokémon in the series, except Mewtwo, do not have their shiny form as an alternate coloration.

==In the TCG==
Alternate colored Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. {{TCG|Stormfront|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} includes three cards with alternate coloration artwork and a holofoil effect, but are not classified as rare cards. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards do not play significantly differently from their normal coloration counterparts, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into Stage 1 Pokémon.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Spr 4p 172 s.png|frame|Pikachu-colored Pichu]]
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}.

The first Pokémon with an alternate coloration that was seen was also the first {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to appear, a {{an|Ho-Oh}} in [[EP001|the first episode]]. Because alternate coloration was not yet an explored concept, however, most do not consider this to be a shiny Pokémon either. A blue {{p|Breloom}} and a light-blue {{p|Marill}} also appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', which aren't the official alternate colors for those Pokémon, and are possibly coloring errors.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the mainland. For example, a Butterfree would have gold wings with red spots on them instead of just being white.

The first true shiny Pokémon that appeared, however, was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other shiny Pokémon have appeared later as well.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Ditto uses the move {{m|Transform}} to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It is sought out for its ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No eggs}} group, including genderless ones.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish gelatinous blob with vestigial facial features. However, it can take the form of anything, even inanimate objects.
====Gender differences====
Ditto is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ditto is capable of {{m|transform}}ing in to an an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|Mew}}), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in [[Pokémon Snap]] (in which several Ditto are transformed into {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto can not mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon eggs of the more rare Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the [[starter Pokémon]].

===Behavior===
Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DittosMysteriousMansion.gif|right|thumb|Ditto in the anime]]
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange Islands}} of the [[Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named Mini-Dit. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

A Ditto was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP037|Ditto|Ash's Pokédex|Ditto, a Transform Pokémon. It is able to rearrange the cells of its body and assume any form. Its only attack is Transform.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
Ditto is one of the members on {{Special|Blue}}'s team in [[Pokémon Special]]. As a master of transformation, Blue uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance, camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Blue's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{Special|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}.

Duplica and her Ditto are seen in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into {{Ash}}, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

Ditto is also featured in ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' under the ownership of {{OBP|Satoshi|Zensho}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ditto (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{m|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Trozei!]]: Ditto serves as a "wild card", meaning it can Trozei with any Pokémon and must be used to get rid of Jammer Balls. One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ditto is found in many dungeons. In a complete twist from its previous appearance in Trozei, in this game it is quite useless. While Transform gives the user the appearance of a random Pokémon found on the current floor, it does not copy the opponent's moves or stats. In addition, it only has 1 PP, allowing only one use per dungeon without restoring items. After using Transform, Ditto's only options are to {{m|struggle}} or use the basic tackle attack exclusive to Mystery Dungeon.

==Trivia==
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally (legitimately the lowest level it is able to be is 10, in [[Generation II]]).
* Ditto is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Lapras}}.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} towards the end of the game. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Professor Oak treats the photo as that of a real Bulbasaur, although Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in the [[EP037|anime]], although it was understood that this was not natural.
* It is one of the few Pokémon that has the same sprite on [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and {{v2|Emerald}}.
* Ditto's Generation III sprites, its appearance in Melee and anime appearances show a pink color, contrasting the purple hue displayed elsewhere.

===Glitches===
Ditto is closely associated with several [[glitch]]es throughout the series, most stemming from its nearly-unique ability.

In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M]], an invisible wild Ditto will still be in battle with the player where 'M was before, and the battle will not end. Additionally, a Ditto is a necessary Pokémon for carrying out method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]], which allows the player to encounter any Pokémon or glitch Pokémon (correspondence based upon [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html this list]). Furthermore, switching the order of moves in a Transformed Ditto's movelist in-battle causes Ditto to have the {{m|--|blank space glitch move}} when the battle ends.

By exploiting the factors that determine a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, a shiny Ditto can be obtained by trading the [[red Gyarados]] to Generation I and capturing a Ditto that transforms into it.

Several more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered in [[Generation IV]] as well. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, due to an oversight in the programming of Transform, a Ditto will copy the Pokémon's [[held item]] in addition to its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Another glitch allows for Ditto to transform and then permanently keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became, allowing for the passing down of previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do so with all {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon through {{m|Sketch}}.

===The Transform Paradox===
If Ditto (or another Pokémon with only {{m|Transform}}) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 [[PP]] each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike what is the case with {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}. This is likely why no Trainers have Ditto in the Generation IV games, except in the {{si|Battle Tower}}, where one can always retire.

===Origin===
Ditto strongly resembles an {{wp|amoeba}}, a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It may also be based on an undifferentiated cell, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It also can be based on a {{wp|blob}}.
====Name origin====
A ''ditto'' is a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. Ditto's Japanese name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'', ''monster'', and possibly ''transformation''.

'''Electrike''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラクライ''' ''Rakurai'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Manectric}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Electrike are small, green, dog-like Pokémon with yellow markings. They have a small pointed tail with two spikes on the side, giving the appearance of three tails. Their most distinctive feature is their large head crest.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
The electricity found in Electrike's body is obtained from the friction that occurs when it runs at incredible speeds. It is stored in its fur, and can be released at the Pokémon's will. This allows it to use moves like {{m|Spark}} from the static electricity found in its fur, which also activates one of its abilities, {{a|Static}}.

===Behavior===
Electrike prefers movement and agility. It is affected by weather, letting out sparks whenever a storm approaches.

===Habitat===

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Electrike anime.png|right|thumb|180px|right|An Electrike in the anime]]

Electrike first appeared in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''. After [[Wattson]] was easily defeated by [[Ash Ketchum]] during the [[Mauville Gym|Gym]] Match, Wattson needed some time alone. During this, an Electrike came to comfort the [[Mauville City]] [[Gym Leader]]. Wattson decided to keep the electrical canine as one of his own Pokémon.

Electrike also appeared in ''[[DP042|The Electrike Company!]]'' under the ownership of [[Jaco]]. Though Jaco thought that Electrike wasn't that strong and wouldn't pass a test, Ash and friends helped Electrike control its power, resulting in it evolving into a Manectric.

An Electrike appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

* The spikes on the back of Electrike's legs were not visible in its {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} back sprite, even though they featured in Electrike's {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} Artwork.
* Electrike shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Jolteon}}. They are both known as Lightning Pokémon.

===Origin===
Electrike appears to be based on some kind of {{wp|canine}}. It may also based on a demon of Japanese lore, the 雷獣 ''{{wp|Raijū}}'', an elemental lightning creature that can take on the shape of various mammals.

====Name origin====
Electrike's name may be a combination of ''electric'' and ''strike''. Its Japanese name, ''Rakurai'', literally means 落雷, bolt of lightning.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Pewter Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Boulder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in training {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[Image:BrockOriginal.png|thumb|left|Brock in the original series.]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock is a {{g|Breeder}} who is a {{ashfr|close friend}} and traveling companion of {{Ash}}. Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.

He originally trained {{type2|Rock}} [[Pokémon]], but has, since [[EP006|the second episode he appeared in]], diversified. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both [[Pokémon food|for Pokémon]] and for humans. One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly
[[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and {{pkmn|battle}}s of the series.

Early on, he showed that he carries around a {{badge|Boulder}} for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a contest there. He should still have a [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Heavy Ball]], given to him by [[Kurt]] [[EP144|back in Johto]], but this has apparently been forgotten.

Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it's the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

===Appearance===
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|Brock in the Advanced Generation series]]
Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times people see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with {{AP|Charmander}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{AP|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.

He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the series.

Brock is the tallest of {{ashfr|main characters}}, and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.

Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn [[List of clothing in the anime#Brock|three different outfits]] over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown in them.

===Character===
[[Image:Brock's eyes.JPG|thumb|left|180px|Brock with his eyes open.]]
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[potion]]s and cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhelmina]], [[Temacu]], [[Pike Queen Lucy|Lucy]] and [[Holly]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and [[Misty]] and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women.

His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Training|Pokémon Training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to [[Team Rocket]]'s quest to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. His role has always been purely one as support for other main characters, though some fans find this disappointing and want him to take a more active role in the series.

===History===
[[Image:TakeshiDP.png|left|thumb|Brock in the Diamond and Pearl series]]
Not much is known about his early childhood, except that his first Pokémon was his {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, which he received as a gift at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father, {{ka|Flint}}, left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and [[Pewter Gym]], by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and [[Misty]].

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a breeder named [[Suzy]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]].

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[Pokémon 2000|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this line was added in the dub.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type2|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. He left extremely briefly when the Advanced Generation dissolved to visit his home, and is now traveling with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]].

Brock is among the longest-lived main characters in the anime, only being absent from the Orange Islands season and thus ranked under only the permanent characters of {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Because of this, some fans believe he is too worn-out as a character and should be removed from the cast. Others believe he has established himself as a permanent character of the main cast, and do not see him being removed from the cast any time in the near future.

===Pokémon===
As gym tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon were rock types. However, once he was able to leave his gym to travel, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. Thus, his Pokémon tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and are on par with {{Ash}}'s Pokémon in terms of battling strength, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to train his Pokémon.

This listing is of Brock's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode.

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimoribrockoriginal.png|thumb|Art of Brock from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
Brock's title is "The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer". Brock is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses Rock-type Pokémon to complement this.

Brock is one of the few truly serious professional Pokémon Trainers in the Pewter City area. He's tough, people respect him, and most admire him. Supposedly, it's hard to get him to laugh or drop his serious demeanor, but when he does, he can't stop.

Brock likes to dig for [[fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]], which is possibly how he ended up getting a {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} in [[Generation II]].

In each game, there is only one other Trainer in his gym: a [[Camper]], whose name is Jerry in [[Generation II]] and Liam in [[Generation III]]. This Trainer usually isn't devoted to the Rock-type, and may use pure {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon like {{p|Sandshrew}} and {{p|Diglett}}.

In addition to the Boulder Badge, Brock gives out [[TM34]] for {{m|Bide}} in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. In their [[Generation III]] remakes, he gives out [[TM39]] for {{m|Rock Tomb}} instead. In [[Generation II]], he doesn't give out a [[TM]]. In both the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, one Trainer will not allow for Trainers to pass onto {{rt|3}} until they have defeated Brock. Instead, when Trainers try to leave, he will lead them all the way back to the Pewter Gym.

===In the Pokémon Special manga===
[[Image:Brock.PNG|right|frame|Brock]]
Brock debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, however he is mentioned by {{Special|Green}} in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. To gain access to Brock a Trainer must win several rounds of battles against special Trainers of the Gym, every single one of those battles are watched by him from a special room. In this round Brock is a shirtless Gym Leader who has for main Pokémon an Onix and for secondary a Graveler and six Geodude, named Geoone, Geotwo, Geothree and so on.

Brock is a brave Trainer and he assists [[Erika]] and [[Misty]] in their {{pkmn|battle}}s against [[Team Rocket]]. He also gave {{Special|Yellow}} a {{p|Graveler}}.

Brock works as a security guard at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]].

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Since the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] is based heavily on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock's appearances in it are mostly comparable to his anime appearances. However, he is not constantly traveling with Ash in the manga.

In [[DP01-04|Haunting My Dreams]], there are hints about him being [[MangaShipping|in a relationship]] with [[Sabrina]].

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} appears as a rare Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of {{wp|K-Zone}} Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed and stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.
* In the anime, Brock's house is located directly behind the Pewter Gym. His room is only seen briefly in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', but what is seen of it shows that it is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, including {{wp|fusuma}}, a {{wp|tansu}} chest, and a {{wp|futon}} for a bed.
* Brock owns two {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, whose names both start with ''Cro-''.
* Brock is currently the only main character of the anime with {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon, owning two, {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}.
* Brock is the fourth main character to own a Pokémon hatched from an egg. The first was [[Misty]] with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and later {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, the second was {{Ash}} with {{TP|Ash|Phanpy}}, and the third was {{an|May}} with {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
* Brock is one of three of Ash's friends who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The others are {{an|May}} and [[Max]], who are brother and sister. Coincidentally, both fathers are Gym Leaders.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing [[Brock's Crobat|Zubat]] in [[EP006]].
* Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' stock art (both of which are seen in the anime section of this article) use the same pose, changing only his outfit.
* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really crossdressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to slip through Brock's radar.
* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, and {{p|Happiny}}). Of the four, three of them have evolved so far.
*When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, Brock brought only his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} with him. Forretress is not in the [[Hoenn Dex]].
* Despite starting out as a Rock-type Gym Leader, of all the Pokémon Brock currently owns, only one is pure Rock-type, {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Currently, it is [[party|with him]].
* Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have owned at least one Pokémon from each of the four generations.
* Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have won his first major competition [[EP169|of his position]].
* In the video games (notably, the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]), Brock has been shown with several Pokémon that he would later own in the anime ({{p|Golbat}} in Stadium's Round 2 fight, {{p|Forretress}} in Stadium 2's Round 1 fight, and {{p|Steelix}} in Stadium 2's Round 2 fight).
* Besides Ash, Brock is the main human character to appear in every movie, if one does not count [[Team Rocket]]. However, one must take in consideration that his appearance in '''[[The Power of One]]''' was only a cameo.
* Despite being a Rock-type [[Pokémon Trainer]], none of his Pokémon knew any Rock-type moves in [[Generation I]]. This did not occur in [[Generation III]] due to his chosen TM changing from {{TM|34|Bide}} to {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}.
* Brock is one of two [[Gym Leader]]s not to give the [[Player Character|player]] a TM of his {{t|Rock|Gym's specialty type}}, the other being [[Falkner]]. This is only true in [[Generation I]].
** However in [[Generation II]] there was no TM that contained a {{type2|Flying}} move, but in [[Generation I]] there was {{TM|48|Rock Slide}} which is {{type2|Rock}}.

===Interview with Hidaka about Brock's short absence from the anime===
There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In a [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points recent interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He (or, rather his translator) revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, anglo-saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character.

However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Ditto uses the move {{m|Transform}} to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It is sought out for its ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No eggs}} group, including genderless ones.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish gelatinous blob with vestigial facial features. However, it can take the form of anything.
====Gender differences====
Ditto is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ditto is capable of {{m|Transform}}ing in to an an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|Mew}}), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in [[Pokémon Snap]] (in which several Ditto are transformed into {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto can not mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon eggs of the more rare Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the [[starter Pokémon]].

===Behavior===
Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion.

==In the anime==
[[Image:DittosMysteriousMansion.gif|right|thumb|{{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} in the anime]]
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', [[Drake (Orange Islands)|Drake]] of the [[Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named [[Mini-Dit]]. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

A Ditto was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''. A Ditto suited Brodie well because he ''is'' a master of disguise.

==In the manga==
Ditto is one of the members on {{Special|Blue}}'s team in [[Pokémon Special]]. As a master of transformation, Blue uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance, camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Blue's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{Special|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}.

Duplica and her Ditto are seen in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into {{Ash}}, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

Ditto is also featured in ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' under the ownership of [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]].

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{M|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Trozei!]]: Ditto serves as a "wild card", meaning it can Trozei with any Pokémon and must be used to get rid of Jammer Balls. One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ditto is found in many dungeons. In a complete twist from its previous appearance in Trozei, in this game it is quite useless. While Transform gives the user the appearance of a random Pokémon found on the current floor, it does not copy the opponent's moves or stats. In addition, it only has 1 PP, allowing only one use per dungeon without restoring items. After using Transform, Ditto's only options are to {{m|struggle}} or use the basic tackle attack exclusive to Mystery Dungeon.

==Trivia==
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally (legitimately the lowest level it is able to be is 10, in [[Generation II]]).
*Ditto is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Lapras}}.
*In {{g|Snap}}, Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} towards the end of the game. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Professor Oak treats the photo as that of a real Bulbasaur, although Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in {{Ditto's Mysterious Mansion}}, although it was understood in the anime that this was not normal.
*It is one of the few Pokémon that has the same sprite on [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].
* Ditto's Generation III sprites, its appearance in Melee and anime appearances show a pink color, contrasting the purple hue displayed elsewhere.

===Glitches===
Ditto is closely associated with several [[glitch]]es throughout the series, most stemming from its nearly-unique ability.

In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M]], an invisible wild Ditto will still be in battle with the player where 'M was before, and the battle will not end. Additionally, a Ditto is a necessary Pokémon for carrying out method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]], which allows the player to encounter any Pokémon or glitch Pokémon (correspondence based upon [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html this list]). Furthermore, switching the order of moves in a Transformed Ditto's movelist in-battle causes Ditto to have the {{m|--|blank space glitch move}} when the battle ends.

By exploiting the factors that determine a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, a shiny Ditto can be obtained by trading the [[red Gyarados]] to Generation I and capturing a Ditto that transforms into it.

Several more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered in [[Generation IV]] as well. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, due to an oversight in the programming of Transform, a Ditto will copy the Pokémon's [[held item]] in addition to its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Another glitch allows for Ditto to transform and then permanently keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became, allowing for the passing down of previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do so with all {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon through {{m|Sketch}}.

===The Transform Paradox===
If Ditto (or another Pokémon with only {{m|Transform}}) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 [[PP]] each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike what is the case with {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}. This is likely why no Trainers have Ditto in the Generation IV games, except in the {{si|Battle Tower}}, where one can always retire.

===Origin===
Ditto strongly resembles an {{wp|amoeba}}, a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It may also be based on an undifferentiated cell, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It also can be based on a {{wp|blob}}.
====Name origin====
A ''ditto'' is a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. Ditto's Japanese name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'', ''monster'', and possibly ''transformation''.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Ditto uses the move {{m|Transform}} to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It is sought out for its ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No eggs}} group, including genderless ones.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish gelatinous blob with vestigial facial features. However, it can take the form of anything.
====Gender differences====
Ditto is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ditto is capable of {{m|Transform}}ing in to an an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|Mew}}), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in [[Pokémon Snap]] (in which several Ditto are transformed into {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto can not mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon eggs of the more rare Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the [[starter Pokémon]].

===Behavior===
Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion.

Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', [[Drake (Orange Islands)|Drake]] of the [[Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named [[Mini-Dit]]. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

A Ditto was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''. A Ditto suited Brodie well because he ''is'' a master of disguise.

As a master of transformation, Blue uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance, camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Blue's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{Special|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}.

Duplica and her Ditto are seen in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into {{Ash}}, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

Ditto is also featured in ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' under the ownership of [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]].

==Trivia==
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally (legitimately the lowest level it is able to be is 10, in [[Generation II]]).
*Ditto is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Lapras}}.
*In {{g|Snap}}, Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} towards the end of the game. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Professor Oak treats the photo as that of a real Bulbasaur, although Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in the {{Ditto's Mysterious Mansion}}, although it was understood in the anime that this was not normal.
*It is one of the few Pokémon that has the same sprite on [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].
* Ditto's Generation III sprites, its appearance in Melee and anime appearances show a pink color, contrasting the purple hue displayed elsewhere.

===Glitches===
Ditto is closely associated with several [[glitch]]es throughout the series, most stemming from its nearly-unique ability.

In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M]], an invisible wild Ditto will still be in battle with the player where 'M was before, and the battle will not end. Additionally, a Ditto is a necessary Pokémon for carrying out method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]], which allows the player to encounter any Pokémon or glitch Pokémon (correspondence based upon [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html this list]). Furthermore, switching the order of moves in a Transformed Ditto's movelist in-battle causes Ditto to have the {{m|--|blank space glitch move}} when the battle ends.

By exploiting the factors that determine a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, a shiny Ditto can be obtained by trading the [[red Gyarados]] to Generation I and capturing a Ditto that transforms into it.

Several more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered in [[Generation IV]] as well. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, due to an oversight in the programming of Transform, a Ditto will copy the Pokémon's [[held item]] in addition to its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Another glitch allows for Ditto to transform and then permanently keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became, allowing for the passing down of previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do so with all {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon through {{m|Sketch}}.

===The Transform Paradox===
If Ditto (or another Pokémon with only {{m|Transform}}) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform. Since every time Transform is used, it gives the Pokémon using it the target's moveset with 5 [[PP]] each, Transform will continue to Transform into itself, restoring the PP every time it is used. Due to this, one will never reach a point where it can only use {{m|Struggle}}, unlike what is the case with {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}. This is likely why no Trainers have Ditto in the Generation IV games, except in the {{si|Battle Tower}}, where one can always retire.

===Origin===
Ditto strongly resembles an {{wp|amoeba}}, a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It may also be based on an undifferentiated cell, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It also can be based on a {{wp|blob}}.
====Name origin====
A ''ditto'' is a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. Ditto's Japanese name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'', ''monster'', and possibly ''transformation''.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Ditto uses the move {{m|Transform}} to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It is sought out for its ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No eggs}} group, including genderless ones.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish gelatinous blob with vestigial facial features. However, it can take the form of anything.
====Gender differences====
Ditto is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ditto is capable of {{m|Transform}}ing in to an an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|Mew}}), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in [[Pokémon Snap]] (in which several Ditto are transformed into {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto can not mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon eggs of the more rare Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the [[starter Pokémon]].

===Behavior===
Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:DittosMysteriousMansion.gif|right|thumb|{{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} in the anime]]
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket]].

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', [[Drake (Orange Islands)|Drake]] of the [[Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named [[Mini-Dit]]. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.

A Ditto was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''. A Ditto suited Brodie well because he ''is'' a master of disguise.

==In the manga==
Ditto is one of the members on {{Special|Blue}}'s team in [[Pokémon Special]]. As a master of transformation, Blue uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance, camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Blue's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{Special|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}.

Duplica and her Ditto are seen in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into {{Ash}}, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

Ditto is also featured in ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' under the ownership of [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ditto (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{M|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Trozei!]]: Ditto serves as a "wild card", meaning it can Trozei with any Pokémon and must be used to get rid of Jammer Balls. One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Ditto is found in many dungeons. In a complete twist from its previous appearance in Trozei, in this game it is quite useless. While Transform gives the user the appearance of a random Pokémon found on the current floor, it does not copy the opponent's moves or stats. In addition, it only has 1 PP, allowing only one use per dungeon without restoring items. After using Transform, Ditto's only options are to {{m|struggle}} or use the basic tackle attack exclusive to Mystery Dungeon.

* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally (legitimately the lowest level it is able to be is 10, in [[Generation II]]).
*Ditto is one of the few [[Generation I]] non-legendary Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Lapras}}.
*In {{g|Snap}}, Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} towards the end of the game. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Professor Oak treats the photo as that of a real Bulbasaur, although Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by a Ditto in the {{Ditto's Mysterious Mansion |anime}}, although it was understood in the anime that this was not normal.
*It is one of the few Pokémon that has the same sprite on [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].

By exploiting the factors that determine a {{shiny2}} Pokémon, a shiny Ditto can be obtained by trading the [[red Gyarados]] to Generation I and capturing a Ditto that transforms into it.

Several more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered in [[Generation IV]] as well. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, due to an oversight in the programming of Transform, a Ditto will copy the Pokémon's [[held item]] in addition to its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Another glitch allows for Ditto to transform and then permanently keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became, allowing for the passing down of previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do so with all {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon through {{m|Sketch}}.

===The Transform Paradox===
If Ditto (or another Pokémon with only {{m|Transform}}) faces another Pokémon with Transform in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle where neither Trainer has any items and no Pokémon besides the Pokémon with Transform, the battle will never end. This is because when Transform is used, the Pokémon will turn into its opponent, resulting in a Transform moveset of, again, only Transform.

'''Seaking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アズマオウ''' ''Azumao'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Goldeen}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Seaking resembles a {{wp|koi}} or {{wp|goldfish}}, as it is a big orange colored fish with white and black markings. It also has a horn on its head, two big dark eyes, and pink lips with two small, sharp fangs.
====Gender differences====
A female has a smaller horn.

====Special abilities====
Seaking is a very powerful swimmer, being able to swim up the riviers current and even up waterfalls. It also uses it's powerful horn to bore holes in solid rock to keep their eggs safe.

===Behavior===
In autumn, Seaking travel up river to lay eggs and raise young.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Seaking are common in bodies of water.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:TheGreatEightFate.jpg|thumb|right|Seaking in the anime]]
{{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Professor Oak]] have owned Seaking in the past, though Ash and Misty released theirs only a short time after capturing it, due to the rules of the competition. It should be noted that Professor Oak's Seaking was invented by the [[dub]].

[[Juan]] also owns a Seaking, which was used in a [[Gym]] battle against Ash in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]''. Juan's Seaking was able to block {{t|electric}} attacks with {{m|Horn Drill}} and send them back at its opponent.

==Trivia==
*Seaking's prototype name was "{{wp|Neptune}}", named after the god of the sea in Roman mythology.
*Seaking is the subject of a meme on the *chan sites: "F*** YEAH SEAKING." This meme centers around Seaking destroying things.
*Seaking and Goldeen are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Waterfall}} through leveling up. This makes it one of few Pokémon released to be able to learn an HM move by level-up.
*Despite being called '''Sea'''king, it is found in fresh water, like real life {{wp|goldfish}}.
**In the [[Pal Park]], it is found in the Pond Area.
* Seakings's number in the [[sdex|Sinnoh Dex]] and the [[jdex|Johto Dex]] is the same: 079. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
*In the anime, Seaking is the only Pokémon that both Ash and Misty have owned.
**Ironically, both Seaking were caught and released in a single episode.
*Seaking bears an odd resemblance to the ''Looney Toon'' version of Peter Lorre, with the black marks on its head and under its eyes, its large, round eyes, oversized lips, and two-teethed overbite.

===Origin===
It seems to be based on a species of {{wp|goldfish}} known as Azuma Nishiki (東錦). The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god {{wp|Vishnu}} assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.
====Name origin====
Seaking's name is simply a combination of ''sea'' and ''king'' (seeking?). Its Japanese name may be based on 小豆鱒 ''azukimasu'', {{wp|rock cod}} and 魔王 ''ma-ō'', devil king. Interestingly enough, its Japanese name may also be taken to literally mean 東王 ''azuma-ō'', East king. Furthermore, an アズマニシキ ''azumanishiki'' is a kind of goldfish. Likely the name is meant to compliment Goldeen's "queenliness" with a combination of the Azuma Nishiki (東錦) goldfish and the Japanese word for king, ''ou'' (王).

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Golking
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Poissoroy - From ''poisson'' (fish). ''Roy'' could be a mispelling of ''roi'' (king).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 왕콘치 ''Wangkonchi''

Anoritian: /* Generation IV */

{{FAC notice}}
'''Weather conditions''' are a feature that was implemented into the Pokémon games in [[Generation II]], and expanded upon in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}. During these games, weather depended upon where a battle took place, or even whether a Pokémon had used a specific [[move]] or [[ability]]. Only one weather condition may be active at a time, and if a move or ability changes the current state of the weather, the previous condition is canceled.

In the second generation, when the first conditions were introduced, some moves came to have an advantage with them, notably, {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Thunder}}, both of which would be nearly deadly with the right conditions.

During the third and fourth generations, many abilities also took advantage of a particular weather condition, some using them to heighten certain [[stat]]s or to recover [[Stat#Hit Points|HP]]. Others still would activate the conditions themselves, with two of the [[Legendary trio|three]] [[Hoenn]]-based [[Weather trio|weather legendaries]] activating battle-long sun and rain, and the third preventing all weather conditions with {{a|Air Lock|its ability}}.

===On the field===
There have been several on-field weather conditions, most of which do the same as another on-field weather condition.

====Sun====
When the sun shines brightly, the screen brightens and dims alternately. The screen may also turn a shade of orange that flows while dark spots ride across.

====Cloudy Skies====
Sometimes clouds gather over {{rt|213}}, and the whole area gets darker than usual. Rarely happens on {{rt|212}}.

====Rain====
There have been three different rain conditions.
* Normal rain: Rain falls. Found in all places where rain is found on the field.
* Heavy rain: Rains falls heavily, at a lower angle than in the other. Found occasionally on {{rt|212}}.
* Thunderstorm: Rain falls heavily, much like the Heavy Rain does, and occasionally, lightning will strike and thunder will rumble. Found on {{rt|119}} as part of the four-day rain-thunderstorm-rain-clear cycle. Found on Route 212 on occasion. It happens on predetermined days, such as the anniversaries of the game's release in each country. It also appeared on {{wp|St. Patrick's Day}} and February 29th, 2008.

====Sandstorm====
There has been only one sandstorm condition. Wind whips sand around, making it difficult to see.

====Snow/Hail====
There have been four snowy conditions.
* Light snow: Snow falls lightly. Found in [[Snowpoint City]], and less often, in [[Acuity Lakefront]] and on {{rt|216}}.
* Heavy snow: Snow falls more quickly and heavily. Found on {{rt|216}} and in [[Acuity Lakefront]].
* Blizzard: Snow whips around, making it difficult to see. Found on {{rt|217}}, and less often on {{rt|216}}.
* [[Snowpoint City#Diamond dust|Diamond dust]]: Small ice crystals twinkle in the air. Found on certain special days in [[Snowpoint City]].

====Fog====
There has been only one fog condition.
* Heavy fog: Thick fog blankets everything. Obstacles and Trainers are difficult to see. Can be cleared with {{m|Defog}}.

==History==
===Generation II===
In the second-generation games, three [[move]]s were introduced that could change the weather during a battle to alter the playing field slightly. These moves were {{m|Sunny Day}}, which created five turns worth of intense sunlight and allowed a Pokémon to attack with {{m|SolarBeam}} without waiting a turn; {{m|Rain Dance}}, which gave five turns of heavy rain and increased {{m|Thunder}}'s accuracy to 100%; and {{m|Sandstorm}}, which made a wild sandstorm that lasted for the same amount of turns. These three moves could change the course of a battle, with intense sun and heavy rain powering up {{t|Fire}}- and {{type2|Water}} moves, and powering down the other, respectively, and a sandstorm slightly damaging any Pokémon not of the {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, or {{type2|Steel}}s.

===Generation III===
In the third generation, the [[version mascot|title Pokémon]] of the three Hoenn-based versions had weather-related abilities. {{p|Groudon}}'s ability allowed for intense sunlight to fill the arena until the battle ended, or another weather effect took its place. Likewise, its counterpart {{p|Kyogre}}'s ability made heavy rain that lasted until the end of the battle or until another weather effect superseded it. Emerald Version's mascot, however, had a different way of affecting the playing field. While {{p|Rayquaza}} is battling, all effects of the weather are essentially negated, though the actual sunlight/rain/sandstorm/hail remains going. {{p|Psyduck}} and {{p|Golduck}} may also have a similar ability.

Another Pokémon, one which was not available in Ruby or Sapphire without trading, also had a weather-based ability. {{p|Tyranitar}}, once fully evolved from a {{p|Larvitar}} captured in FireRed or LeafGreen, has the ability {{a|Sand Stream}}, which causes a sandstorm that lasts until the end of the battle or until another weather-changing move is made. This makes it almost useless for a Tyranitar to have the move {{m|Sandstorm}} itself, as the sandstorm is automatically activated as it comes into battle.

Ruby and Sapphire also debuted another weather-changing move, {{m|Hail}}, which, like {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, and {{m|Sandstorm}} before it, changes the weather for five turns, this time to an icy hailstorm. However, this move, and weather effect, have more in common with Sandstorm than with the other two. For the five turns that it's hailing, all Pokémon who are not {{type2|Ice}} are damaged.

===={{p|Castform}}====
Also in Generation III, one of the {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 Pokémon released}} {{type2|Normal}} called '''Castform'''. When in a battle where no weather effects are present, Castform is quite unremarkable. However, when any of the effects besides a sandstorm or Shadow Sky are applied, Castform's type and shape change to match the weather, due to its ability, {{a|Forecast}}. Also, when it is leveled up, it learns a move called {{m|Weather Ball}}, which also changes type with the weather, doubling its power when any weather was in effect. Unlike Forecast, Weather Ball's type differs even in a sandstorm, becoming a {{type2|Rock}} move, as well as in Shadow Sky, becoming a {{type2|???}} move. However, it should be noted that when battling against {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Golduck}}, due to their ability to negate all weather effects, Castform is incapable of changing forms and incapable of having a different-typed Weather Ball.

===Generation IV===
Within the fourth generation, the weather effects seem to be going strong. At one point in [[Sinnoh]], it is actually possible to travel on a [[Route 217|route covered in snow]]. Also in Generation IV, a {{a|Snow Warning|new ability}} was released that serves much like {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, and {{a|Sand Stream}}, excepting the fact that it permanently activates a hailstorm instead of sunlight, rain, or sandstorm.

Several [[held item]]s were also introduced that extend the length of a certain weather condition when its activating move was used by the holder by three turns.

Another new weather condition introduced in Generation IV was the fog condition. Instead of having a move to activate it, however, there was a move introduced to actually {{Defog(move)|clear it}}.

More interesting things introduced within Generation IV were other conditions that had nothing to do with the weather, but behaved similarly to the weather-activating moves. Like the weather conditions, these moves would affect all Pokémon on the field for five turns, and in various ways. For example, {{m|Gravity|one move}} would rid {{a|Levitate|Levitating}} Pokémon of their powers, and force both them and {{type2|Flying}}s to take damage from {{type2|Ground}} moves, as well as disabling moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Bounce}}, whereas another, {{m|Magnet Rise}}, makes the user invulnerable to {{type2|Ground}} moves, again for five turns. Also, {{m|Trick Room}} alters the dimensions for five turns, making slower Pokémon attack first; and {{m|Tailwind}} increases the Speed of the user's team for three turns.

[[Acid rain]], a weather-related glitch, is present in {{v2|Platinum}}.

==In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon==
Various weather effects appear in certain dungeons in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. Weather effects can change from floor to floor, and can also be altered through the use of [[Wonder Orbs]].

*'''Sunny:''' Fire-type moves increase power by 50%, while Water moves are cut in half.
*'''Fog:''' The power of Electric-type moves is cut in half.
*'''Snow:''' Ice-type Pokémon have an increased movement rate.
*'''Rain:''' Water-type moves increase power by 50%, while Fire moves are cut in half. Also prevents explosions from traps and moves like {{m|Selfdestruct}}.
*'''Hail:''' Deals 5 points of damage to non-Ice-types every 10 turns.
*'''Sandstorm:''' Deals 5 points of damage to non-Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-types every 10 turns.
*'''Cloudy:''' Reduces the damage of all non-Normal-type moves by 25%.

==Trivia==
* All weather-creating abilities ({{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Sand Stream}}, and {{a|Snow Warning}}) debuted the generation after their respective moves/weather ({{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, and {{m|Hail}}).

During these games, weather depended upon where a battle took place, or even whether a Pokémon had used a specific [[move]] or [[ability]]. Only one weather condition may be active at a time, and if a move or ability changes the current state of the weather, the previous condition is canceled.

In the second generation, when the first conditions were introduced, some moves came to have an advantage with them, notably, {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Thunder}}, both of which would be nearly deadly with the right conditions.

During the third and fourth generations, many abilities also took advantage of a particular weather condition, some using them to heighten certain [[stat]]s or to recover [[Stat#Hit Points|HP]]. Others still would activate the conditions themselves, with two of the [[Legendary trio|three]] [[Hoenn]]-based [[Weather trio|weather legendaries]] activating battle-long sun and rain, and the third preventing all weather conditions with {{a|Air Lock|its ability}}.

==Current weather conditions==

===On the field===
There have been several on-field weather conditions, most of which do the same as another on-field weather condition.

====Sun====
When the sun shines brightly, the screen brightens and dims alternately. The screen may also turn a shade of orange that flows while dark spots ride across.

====Cloudy Skies====
Sometimes clouds gather over {{rt|213}}, and the whole area gets darker than usual. Rarely happens on {{rt|212}}.

====Rain====
There have been three different rain conditions.
* Normal rain: Rain falls. Found in all places where rain is found on the field.
* Heavy rain: Rains falls heavily, at a lower angle than in the other. Found occasionally on {{rt|212}}.
* Thunderstorm: Rain falls heavily, much like the Heavy Rain does, and occasionally, lightning will strike and thunder will rumble. Found on {{rt|119}} as part of the four-day rain-thunderstorm-rain-clear cycle. Found on Route 212 on occasion. It happens on predetermined days, such as the anniversaries of the game's release in each country. It also appeared on {{wp|St. Patrick's Day}} and February 29th, 2008.

====Sandstorm====
There has been only one sandstorm condition. Wind whips sand around, making it difficult to see.

====Snow/Hail====
There have been four snowy conditions.
* Light snow: Snow falls lightly. Found in [[Snowpoint City]], and less often, in [[Acuity Lakefront]] and on {{rt|216}}.
* Heavy snow: Snow falls more quickly and heavily. Found on {{rt|216}} and in [[Acuity Lakefront]].
* Blizzard: Snow whips around, making it difficult to see. Found on {{rt|217}}, and less often on {{rt|216}}.
* [[Snowpoint City#Diamond dust|Diamond dust]]: Small ice crystals twinkle in the air. Found on certain special days in [[Snowpoint City]].

====Fog====
There has been only one fog condition.
* Heavy fog: Thick fog blankets everything. Obstacles and Trainers are difficult to see. Can be cleared with {{m|Defog}}.

==History==
===Generation II===
In the second-generation games, three [[move]]s were introduced that could change the weather during a battle to alter the playing field slightly. These moves were {{m|Sunny Day}}, which created five turns worth of intense sunlight and allowed a Pokémon to attack with {{m|SolarBeam}} without waiting a turn; {{m|Rain Dance}}, which gave five turns of heavy rain and increased {{m|Thunder}}'s accuracy to 100%; and {{m|Sandstorm}}, which made a wild sandstorm that lasted for the same amount of turns. These three moves could change the course of a battle, with intense sun and heavy rain powering up {{t|Fire}}- and {{type2|Water}} moves, and powering down the other, respectively, and a sandstorm slightly damaging any Pokémon not of the {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, or {{type2|Steel}}s.

===Generation III===
In the third generation, the [[version mascot|title Pokémon]] of the three Hoenn-based versions had weather-related abilities. {{p|Groudon}}'s ability allowed for intense sunlight to fill the arena until the battle ended, or another weather effect took its place. Likewise, its counterpart {{p|Kyogre}}'s ability made heavy rain that lasted until the end of the battle or until another weather effect superseded it. Emerald Version's mascot, however, had a different way of affecting the playing field. While {{p|Rayquaza}} is battling, all effects of the weather are essentially negated, though the actual sunlight/rain/sandstorm/hail remains going. {{p|Psyduck}} and {{p|Golduck}} may also have a similar ability.

Another Pokémon, one which was not available in Ruby or Sapphire without trading, also had a weather-based ability. {{p|Tyranitar}}, once fully evolved from a {{p|Larvitar}} captured in FireRed or LeafGreen, has the ability {{a|Sand Stream}}, which causes a sandstorm that lasts until the end of the battle or until another weather-changing move is made. This makes it almost useless for a Tyranitar to have the move {{m|Sandstorm}} itself, as the sandstorm is automatically activated as it comes into battle.

Ruby and Sapphire also debuted another weather-changing move, {{m|Hail}}, which, like {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, and {{m|Sandstorm}} before it, changes the weather for five turns, this time to an icy hailstorm. However, this move, and weather effect, have more in common with Sandstorm than with the other two. For the five turns that it's hailing, all Pokémon who are not {{type2|Ice}} are damaged.

===={{p|Castform}}====
Also in Generation III, one of the {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 Pokémon released}} {{type2|Normal}} called '''Castform'''. When in a battle where no weather effects are present, Castform is quite unremarkable. However, when any of the effects besides a sandstorm or Shadow Sky are applied, Castform's type and shape change to match the weather, due to its ability, {{a|Forecast}}. Also, when it is leveled up, it learns a move called {{m|Weather Ball}}, which also changes type with the weather, doubling its power when any weather was in effect. Unlike Forecast, Weather Ball's type differs even in a sandstorm, becoming a {{type2|Rock}} move, as well as in Shadow Sky, becoming a {{type2|???}} move. However, it should be noted that when battling against {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Golduck}}, due to their ability to negate all weather effects, Castform is incapable of changing forms and incapable of having a different-typed Weather Ball.

===Generation IV===
Within the fourth generation, the weather effects seem to be going strong. At one point in [[Sinnoh]], it is actually possible to travel on a [[Route 217|route covered in snow]]. Also in Generation IV, a {{a|Snow Warning|new ability}} was released that serves much like {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, and {{a|Sand Stream}}, excepting the fact that it permanently activates a hailstorm instead of sunlight, rain, or sandstorm.

Several [[held item]]s were also introduced that extend the length of a certain weather condition when its activating move was used by the holder by three turns.

Another new weather condition introduced in Generation IV was the fog condition. Instead of having a move to activate it, however, there was a move introduced to actually {{Defog|clear it}}.

More interesting things introduced within Generation IV were other conditions that had nothing to do with the weather, but behaved similarly to the weather-activating moves. Like the weather conditions, these moves would affect all Pokémon on the field for five turns, and in various ways. For example, {{m|Gravity|one move}} would rid {{a|Levitate|Levitating}} Pokémon of their powers, and force both them and {{type2|Flying}}s to take damage from {{type2|Ground}} moves, as well as disabling moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Bounce}}, whereas another, {{m|Magnet Rise}}, makes the user invulnerable to {{type2|Ground}} moves, again for five turns. Also, {{m|Trick Room}} alters the dimensions for five turns, making slower Pokémon attack first; and {{m|Tailwind}} increases the Speed of the user's team for three turns.

[[Acid rain]], a weather-related glitch, is present in {{v2|Platinum}}.

==In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon==
Various weather effects appear in certain dungeons in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. Weather effects can change from floor to floor, and can also be altered through the use of [[Wonder Orbs]].

*'''Sunny:''' Fire-type moves increase power by 50%, while Water moves are cut in half.
*'''Fog:''' The power of Electric-type moves is cut in half.
*'''Snow:''' Ice-type Pokémon have an increased movement rate.
*'''Rain:''' Water-type moves increase power by 50%, while Fire moves are cut in half. Also prevents explosions from traps and moves like {{m|Selfdestruct}}.
*'''Hail:''' Deals 5 points of damage to non-Ice-types every 10 turns.
*'''Sandstorm:''' Deals 5 points of damage to non-Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-types every 10 turns.
*'''Cloudy:''' Reduces the damage of all non-Normal-type moves by 25%.

==Trivia==
* All weather-creating abilities ({{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Sand Stream}}, and {{a|Snow Warning}}) debuted the generation after their respective moves/weather ({{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, and {{m|Hail}}).

During these games, weather depended upon where a battle took place, or even whether a Pokémon had used a specific [[move]] or [[ability]]. Only one weather condition may be active at a time, and if a move or ability changes the current state of the weather, the previous condition is canceled.

In the second generation, when the first conditions were introduced, some moves came to have an advantage with them, notably, {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Thunder}}, both of which would be nearly deadly with the right conditions.

During the third and fourth generations, many abilities also took advantage of a particular weather condition, some using them to heighten certain [[stat]]s or to recover [[Stat#Hit Points|HP]]. Others still would activate the conditions themselves, with two of the [[Legendary trio|three]] [[Hoenn]]-based [[Weather trio|weather legendaries]] activating battle-long sun and rain, and the third preventing all weather conditions with {{a|Air Lock|its ability}}.

==Current weather conditions==

===On the field===
There have been several on-field weather conditions, most of which do the same as another on-field weather condition.

====Sun====
When the sun shines brightly, the screen brightens and dims alternately. The screen may also turn a shade of orange that flows while dark spots ride across.

====Cloudy Skies====
Sometimes clouds gather over {{rt|213}}, and the whole area gets darker than usual. Rarely happens on {{rt|212}}.

====Rain====
There have been three different rain conditions.
* Normal rain: Rain falls. Found in all places where rain is found on the field.
* Heavy rain: Rains falls heavily, at a lower angle than in the other. Found occasionally on {{rt|212}}.
* Thunderstorm: Rain falls heavily, much like the Heavy Rain does, and occasionally, lightning will strike and thunder will rumble. Found on {{rt|119}} as part of the four-day rain-thunderstorm-rain-clear cycle. Found on Route 212 on occasion. It happens on predetermined days, such as the anniversaries of the game's release in each country. It also appeared on {{wp|St. Patrick's Day}} and February 29th, 2008.

====Sandstorm====
There has been only one sandstorm condition. Wind whips sand around, making it difficult to see.

====Snow/Hail====
There have been four snowy conditions.
* Light snow: Snow falls lightly. Found in [[Snowpoint City]], and less often, in [[Acuity Lakefront]] and on {{rt|216}}.
* Heavy snow: Snow falls more quickly and heavily. Found on {{rt|216}} and in [[Acuity Lakefront]].
* Blizzard: Snow whips around, making it difficult to see. Found on {{rt|217}}, and less often on {{rt|216}}.
* [[Snowpoint City#Diamond dust|Diamond dust]]: Small ice crystals twinkle in the air. Found on certain special days in [[Snowpoint City]].

====Fog====
There has been only one fog condition.
* Heavy fog: Thick fog blankets everything. Obstacles and Trainers are difficult to see. Can be cleared with {{m|Defog}}.

==History==
===Generation II===
In the second-generation games, three [[move]]s were introduced that could change the weather during a battle to alter the playing field slightly. These moves were {{m|Sunny Day}}, which created five turns worth of intense sunlight and allowed a Pokémon to attack with {{m|SolarBeam}} without waiting a turn; {{m|Rain Dance}}, which gave five turns of heavy rain and increased {{m|Thunder}}'s accuracy to 100%; and {{m|Sandstorm}}, which made a wild sandstorm that lasted for the same amount of turns. These three moves could change the course of a battle, with intense sun and heavy rain powering up {{t|Fire}}- and {{type2|Water}} moves, and powering down the other, respectively, and a sandstorm slightly damaging any Pokémon not of the {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, or {{type2|Steel}}s.

===Generation III===
In the third generation, the [[version mascot|title Pokémon]] of the three Hoenn-based versions had weather-related abilities. {{p|Groudon}}'s ability allowed for intense sunlight to fill the arena until the battle ended, or another weather effect took its place. Likewise, its counterpart {{p|Kyogre}}'s ability made heavy rain that lasted until the end of the battle or until another weather effect superseded it. Emerald Version's mascot, however, had a different way of affecting the playing field. While {{p|Rayquaza}} is battling, all effects of the weather are essentially negated, though the actual sunlight/rain/sandstorm/hail remains going. {{p|Psyduck}} and {{p|Golduck}} may also have a similar ability.

Another Pokémon, one which was not available in Ruby or Sapphire without trading, also had a weather-based ability. {{p|Tyranitar}}, once fully evolved from a {{p|Larvitar}} captured in FireRed or LeafGreen, has the ability {{a|Sand Stream}}, which causes a sandstorm that lasts until the end of the battle or until another weather-changing move is made. This makes it almost useless for a Tyranitar to have the move {{m|Sandstorm}} itself, as the sandstorm is automatically activated as it comes into battle.

Ruby and Sapphire also debuted another weather-changing move, {{m|Hail}}, which, like {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, and {{m|Sandstorm}} before it, changes the weather for five turns, this time to an icy hailstorm. However, this move, and weather effect, have more in common with Sandstorm than with the other two. For the five turns that it's hailing, all Pokémon who are not {{type2|Ice}} are damaged.

===={{p|Castform}}====
Also in Generation III, one of the {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 Pokémon released}} {{type2|Normal}} called '''Castform'''. When in a battle where no weather effects are present, Castform is quite unremarkable. However, when any of the effects besides a sandstorm or Shadow Sky are applied, Castform's type and shape change to match the weather, due to its ability, {{a|Forecast}}. Also, when it is leveled up, it learns a move called {{m|Weather Ball}}, which also changes type with the weather, doubling its power when any weather was in effect. Unlike Forecast, Weather Ball's type differs even in a sandstorm, becoming a {{type2|Rock}} move, as well as in Shadow Sky, becoming a {{type2|???}} move. However, it should be noted that when battling against {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Golduck}}, due to their ability to negate all weather effects, Castform is incapable of changing forms and incapable of having a different-typed Weather Ball.

===Generation IV===
Within the fourth generation, the weather effects seem to be going strong. At one point in [[Sinnoh]], it is actually possible to travel on a [[Route 217|route covered in snow]]. Also in Generation IV, a {{a|Snow Warning|new ability}} was released that serves much like {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, and {{a|Sand Stream}}, excepting the fact that it permanently activates a hailstorm instead of sunlight, rain, or sandstorm.

Several [[held item]]s were also introduced that extend the length of a certain weather condition when its activating move was used by the holder by three turns.

Another new weather condition introduced in Generation IV was the fog condition. Instead of having a move to activate it, however, there was a move introduced to actually {{Defog(move)|"clear'' it}}.

More interesting things introduced within Generation IV were other conditions that had nothing to do with the weather, but behaved similarly to the weather-activating moves. Like the weather conditions, these moves would affect all Pokémon on the field for five turns, and in various ways. For example, {{m|Gravity|one move}} would rid {{a|Levitate|Levitating}} Pokémon of their powers, and force both them and {{type2|Flying}}s to take damage from {{type2|Ground}} moves, as well as disabling moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Bounce}}, whereas another, {{m|Magnet Rise}}, makes the user invulnerable to {{type2|Ground}} moves, again for five turns. Also, {{m|Trick Room}} alters the dimensions for five turns, making slower Pokémon attack first; and {{m|Tailwind}} increases the Speed of the user's team for three turns.

[[Acid rain]], a weather-related glitch, is present in {{v2|Platinum}}.

==In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon==
Various weather effects appear in certain dungeons in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. Weather effects can change from floor to floor, and can also be altered through the use of [[Wonder Orbs]].

*'''Sunny:''' Fire-type moves increase power by 50%, while Water moves are cut in half.
*'''Fog:''' The power of Electric-type moves is cut in half.
*'''Snow:''' Ice-type Pokémon have an increased movement rate.
*'''Rain:''' Water-type moves increase power by 50%, while Fire moves are cut in half. Also prevents explosions from traps and moves like {{m|Selfdestruct}}.
*'''Hail:''' Deals 5 points of damage to non-Ice-types every 10 turns.
*'''Sandstorm:''' Deals 5 points of damage to non-Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-types every 10 turns.
*'''Cloudy:''' Reduces the damage of all non-Normal-type moves by 25%.

==Trivia==
* All weather-creating abilities ({{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Sand Stream}}, and {{a|Snow Warning}}) debuted the generation after their respective moves/weather ({{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, and {{m|Hail}}).

'''Weather conditions''' are a feature that was implemented into the Pokémon games in [[Generation II]], and expanded upon in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}. During these games, weather depended upon where a battle took place, or even whether a Pokémon had used a specific [[move]] or [[ability]]. Only one weather condition may be active at a time, and if a move or ability changes the current state of the weather, the previous condition is canceled.

In the second generation, when the first conditions were introduced, some moves came to have an advantage with them, notably, {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Thunder}}, both of which would be nearly deadly with the right conditions.

During the third and fourth generations, many abilities also took advantage of a particular weather condition, some using them to heighten certain [[stat]]s or to recover [[Stat#Hit Points|HP]]. Others still would activate the conditions themselves, with two of the [[Legendary trio|three]] [[Hoenn]]-based [[Weather trio|weather legendaries]] activating battle-long sun and rain, and the third preventing all weather conditions with {{a|Air Lock|its ability}}.

===On the field===
There have been several on-field weather conditions, most of which do the same as another on-field weather condition.

====Sun====
When the sun shines brightly, the screen brightens and dims alternately. The screen may also turn a shade of orange that flows while dark spots ride across.

====Cloudy Skies====
Sometimes clouds gather over {{rt|213}}, and the whole area gets darker than usual. Rarely happens on {{rt|212}}.

====Rain====
There have been three different rain conditions.
* Normal rain: Rain falls. Found in all places where rain is found on the field.
* Heavy rain: Rains falls heavily, at a lower angle than in the other. Found occasionally on {{rt|212}}.
* Thunderstorm: Rain falls heavily, much like the Heavy Rain does, and occasionally, lightning will strike and thunder will rumble. Found on {{rt|119}} as part of the four-day rain-thunderstorm-rain-clear cycle. Found on Route 212 on occasion. It happens on predetermined days, such as the anniversaries of the game's release in each country. It also appeared on {{wp|St. Patrick's Day}} and February 29th, 2008.

====Sandstorm====
There has been only one sandstorm condition. Wind whips sand around, making it difficult to see.

====Snow/Hail====
There have been four snowy conditions.
* Light snow: Snow falls lightly. Found in [[Snowpoint City]], and less often, in [[Acuity Lakefront]] and on {{rt|216}}.
* Heavy snow: Snow falls more quickly and heavily. Found on {{rt|216}} and in [[Acuity Lakefront]].
* Blizzard: Snow whips around, making it difficult to see. Found on {{rt|217}}, and less often on {{rt|216}}.
* [[Snowpoint City#Diamond dust|Diamond dust]]: Small ice crystals twinkle in the air. Found on certain special days in [[Snowpoint City]].

====Fog====
There has been only one fog condition.
* Heavy fog: Thick fog blankets everything. Obstacles and Trainers are difficult to see. Can be cleared with {{m|Defog}}.

==History==
===Generation II===
In the second-generation games, three [[move]]s were introduced that could change the weather during a battle to alter the playing field slightly. These moves were {{m|Sunny Day}}, which created five turns worth of intense sunlight and allowed a Pokémon to attack with {{m|SolarBeam}} without waiting a turn; {{m|Rain Dance}}, which gave five turns of heavy rain and increased {{m|Thunder}}'s accuracy to 100%; and {{m|Sandstorm}}, which made a wild sandstorm that lasted for the same amount of turns. These three moves could change the course of a battle, with intense sun and heavy rain powering up {{t|Fire}}- and {{type2|Water}} moves, and powering down the other, respectively, and a sandstorm slightly damaging any Pokémon not of the {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ground}}-, or {{type2|Steel}}s.

===Generation III===
In the third generation, the [[version mascot|title Pokémon]] of the three Hoenn-based versions had weather-related abilities. {{p|Groudon}}'s ability allowed for intense sunlight to fill the arena until the battle ended, or another weather effect took its place. Likewise, its counterpart {{p|Kyogre}}'s ability made heavy rain that lasted until the end of the battle or until another weather effect superseded it. Emerald Version's mascot, however, had a different way of affecting the playing field. While {{p|Rayquaza}} is battling, all effects of the weather are essentially negated, though the actual sunlight/rain/sandstorm/hail remains going. {{p|Psyduck}} and {{p|Golduck}} may also have a similar ability.

Another Pokémon, one which was not available in Ruby or Sapphire without trading, also had a weather-based ability. {{p|Tyranitar}}, once fully evolved from a {{p|Larvitar}} captured in FireRed or LeafGreen, has the ability {{a|Sand Stream}}, which causes a sandstorm that lasts until the end of the battle or until another weather-changing move is made. This makes it almost useless for a Tyranitar to have the move {{m|Sandstorm}} itself, as the sandstorm is automatically activated as it comes into battle.

Ruby and Sapphire also debuted another weather-changing move, {{m|Hail}}, which, like {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, and {{m|Sandstorm}} before it, changes the weather for five turns, this time to an icy hailstorm. However, this move, and weather effect, have more in common with Sandstorm than with the other two. For the five turns that it's hailing, all Pokémon who are not {{type2|Ice}} are damaged.

===={{p|Castform}}====
Also in Generation III, one of the {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 Pokémon released}} {{type2|Normal}} called '''Castform'''. When in a battle where no weather effects are present, Castform is quite unremarkable. However, when any of the effects besides a sandstorm or Shadow Sky are applied, Castform's type and shape change to match the weather, due to its ability, {{a|Forecast}}. Also, when it is leveled up, it learns a move called {{m|Weather Ball}}, which also changes type with the weather, doubling its power when any weather was in effect. Unlike Forecast, Weather Ball's type differs even in a sandstorm, becoming a {{type2|Rock}} move, as well as in Shadow Sky, becoming a {{type2|???}} move. However, it should be noted that when battling against {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Golduck}}, due to their ability to negate all weather effects, Castform is incapable of changing forms and incapable of having a different-typed Weather Ball.

===Generation IV===
Within the fourth generation, the weather effects seem to be going strong. At one point in [[Sinnoh]], it is actually possible to travel on a [[Route 217|route covered in snow]]. Also in Generation IV, a {{a|Snow Warning|new ability}} was released that serves much like {{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, and {{a|Sand Stream}}, excepting the fact that it permanently activates a hailstorm instead of sunlight, rain, or sandstorm.

Several [[held item]]s were also introduced that extend the length of a certain weather condition when its activating move was used by the holder by three turns.

Another new weather condition introduced in Generation IV was the fog condition. Instead of having a move to activate it, however, there was a move introduced to actually [[''Defog (move)|clear'' it]].

More interesting things introduced within Generation IV were other conditions that had nothing to do with the weather, but behaved similarly to the weather-activating moves. Like the weather conditions, these moves would affect all Pokémon on the field for five turns, and in various ways. For example, {{m|Gravity|one move}} would rid {{a|Levitate|Levitating}} Pokémon of their powers, and force both them and {{type2|Flying}}s to take damage from {{type2|Ground}} moves, as well as disabling moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Bounce}}, whereas another, {{m|Magnet Rise}}, makes the user invulnerable to {{type2|Ground}} moves, again for five turns. Also, {{m|Trick Room}} alters the dimensions for five turns, making slower Pokémon attack first; and {{m|Tailwind}} increases the Speed of the user's team for three turns.

[[Acid rain]], a weather-related glitch, is present in {{v2|Platinum}}.

==In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon==
Various weather effects appear in certain dungeons in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. Weather effects can change from floor to floor, and can also be altered through the use of [[Wonder Orbs]].

*'''Sunny:''' Fire-type moves increase power by 50%, while Water moves are cut in half.
*'''Fog:''' The power of Electric-type moves is cut in half.
*'''Snow:''' Ice-type Pokémon have an increased movement rate.
*'''Rain:''' Water-type moves increase power by 50%, while Fire moves are cut in half. Also prevents explosions from traps and moves like {{m|Selfdestruct}}.
*'''Hail:''' Deals 5 points of damage to non-Ice-types every 10 turns.
*'''Sandstorm:''' Deals 5 points of damage to non-Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-types every 10 turns.
*'''Cloudy:''' Reduces the damage of all non-Normal-type moves by 25%.

==Trivia==
* All weather-creating abilities ({{a|Drought}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, {{a|Sand Stream}}, and {{a|Snow Warning}}) debuted the generation after their respective moves/weather ({{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, and {{m|Hail}}).

'''Snowpoint City''' (Japanese: '''キッサキシティ''' ''Kissaki City'') is a snow-covered city located at the far north of [[Sinnoh]], where snow blows down from the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] causing low temperatures. Snowpoint City and the three routes that lead to it ({{rt|216}}, {{rt|217}} and [[Acuity Lakefront]]) are also completely covered in snow. To the northeast of Route 217, [[Lake Acuity]] can be found. A cave, which houses {{p|Uxie}}, is located in the middle of Lake Acuity. Given the snow which affects every battle on the two routes leading to the city, as well as the fact that to get to {{rt|216}} from the rest of Sinnoh one must pass through [[Mt. Coronet]], the most convenient way to get to the city is to {{m|Fly}}. There is a port here in which the player can access the [[Fight Area]]. Its [[Snowpoint Temple|temple]] is home to the legendary Pokémon {{p|Regigigas}}. There is also a [[move tutor]] in Snowpoint in {{game|Platinum}}.

==Places of interest==
===Snowpoint Temple===
{{main|Snowpoint Temple}}
[[Image:Snowpoint_temple.PNG‎|left|thumb|The Snowpoint Temple]]
Although Snowpoint City is not home to much, a noticeable landmark in the area is [[Snowpoint Temple]], which can only be accessed after the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]] have been beaten and the [[National Dex]] has been obtained. The temple contains five floors, with odd bits of slippery ice. At the very bottom of the temple lies a dormant Regigigas. To awaken this legendary Pokémon, the player must bring all three of the [[legendary golems]] along with them, which are all only available in the [[Generation III]] games.

Because of the location of the temple within a city, Regigigas is only the fifth legendary Pokémon that can be caught within city limits, the other four being {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Suicune}} in [[Ecruteak City|Ecruteak]]'s [[Tin Tower]] during [[Generation II]] and {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} in [[Hoenn]]'s [[Cave of Origin]].

===Trendy phrases===
Snowpoint is home to the place where [[Trendy phrase#Generation IV|trendy phrases]] are obtained. Every day, players can go to the farthest house in the northeast and receive a new trendy phrase. A trendy phrase is an additional phrase which can be used in interviews with [[non-player character]]s. It appears in the "Tough Words" category. There are thirty-two different possibilities, all obtainable from an elderly man in the northeasternmost house in the city. Only one may be obtained daily, and receiving a new trendy phrase will not alter any [[:category:game mechanics|game mechanics]]. They typically refer to {{wp|science}}, {{wp|business}} and {{wp|the arts}}.

===In-game trade===
In a house south of the [[Pokémon Center]], a girl will [[list of in-game trades|trade]] a {{p|Haunter}} holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} for a {{p|Medicham}}. The Haunter is nicknamed "''Gaspar''" and the OT is "''Mindy''". The Haunter's ID number is 19248.

===Diamond dust===
[[Image:Diamond Dust Platinum.gif|right|thumb|Diamond dust in Platinum|200px]]
On January 10, 2008, [[Junichi Masuda]] posted a blog entry urging players to play their Diamond or Pearl January 12. On that day, the same day as Masuda's birthday, a [[Weather conditions|weather effect]] called {{wp|diamond dust}} occurred in Snowpoint City, replacing the usual snow. It resembles glitter in the air. It is purely aesthetic, since it only occurs within the city where no battles are possible. It has been determined that other special weather conditions such as thunderstorms happen on predetermined days throughout the year.

==Snowpoint Gym==
{{main|Snowpoint Gym}}

The '''Snowpoint Gym''' is the official [[gym]] of Snowpoint City. It is based on {{type2|Ice}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Candice]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{badge|Icicle}}. The Snowpoint City Gym is a Gym consisting of a three-floor ice rink with slides connecting the various floors and snowballs blocking progress through the Gym. To reach the Gym Leader, trainers have to slide around the Gym and destroy the balls of snow blocking the way. For defeating [[Candice]], trainers receive the {{badge|Icicle}}, {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and the ability to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle.

==Demographics==
The population of Snowpoint is 14, which makes it the smallest city in Sinnoh with a [[Gym]].

==Trivia==
* Snowpoint's Japanese motto is {{tt|こおりきらめくゆきのまち|The city of snow where ice glitters}}.
* Snowpoint is geographically the northernmost city in the known [[Pokémon world]].
* Snowpoint is the only city/town that does not connect directly to a route; before reaching a route one must pass through [[Acuity Lakefront]] first.
* Because of the snow, Snowpoint is one of two towns where bicycles cannot be ridden, though the only one in Sinnoh. The other is [[Pacifidlog Town]] in [[Hoenn]].
* Snowpoint is the hometown of {{an|Dawn}}'s rival, [[Zoey]].
* Snowpoint is similar to [[Mahogany Town]] in [[Johto]]. Both have the 7th Gym to their regions which are both {{type2|Ice}}. Both also have a population of 14 in the games.

==Trivia==
* Snowpoint's Japanese motto is {{tt|こおりきらめくゆきのまち|The city of snow where ice glitters}}.
* Snowpoint is geographically the northernmost city in the known [[Pokémon world]].
* Snowpoint is the only city/town that does not connect directly to a route; before reaching a route one must pass through [[Acuity Lakefront]] first.
* Because of the snow, Snowpoint is one of two towns where bicycles cannot be ridden, though the only one in Sinnoh. The other is [[Pacifidlog Town]] in [[Hoenn]].
* Snowpoint is the hometown of {{an|Dawn}}'s rival, [[Zoey]].
* Snowpoint is similar to [[Mahogany Town]] in [[Johto]]. Both have the 7th Gym to their regions which are both {{type2|Ice}}. Both also have a population of 14 in the games.

}}
'''My Pokémon Ranch''' (Japanese: '''みんなのポケモン牧場''' ''Everyone's Pokémon Ranch'') is a WiiWare title that was announced at Nintendo's fall 2007 conference. It was developed by [[Ambrella]] and can be purchased for 1,000 Wii Points. [[Pokémon]] can be transferred from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and stored on a farm. The {{player}} can use up to 8 Diamond and Pearl games to send their Pokémon, which then can be organized in the ranch by factors like height and weight. Hayley will give the player information on the Pokémon, which will be different from the info in the games. She will also bring a Pokémon each day to the ranch for which the player can trade.

The farm is owned by [[Hayley]], a friend of [[Bebe]]'s. Players can sort, take pictures, and interact with up to 1,000 of their Pokémon.

It is essentially a [[Generation IV]] version of [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire|Pokémon Box]]. However, it is notable that Pokémon Ranch is similar to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] in that it will only interact with specific save files. This means that if a Pokémon is placed on the ranch, only the game from which it was placed onto the ranch may take the Pokémon back off it. This prevents people storing Pokémon and starting a new game - something for which previous storage titles were quite useful.

==Features==
*My Pokémon Ranch is able to connect, store and withdraw Pokémon from 8 different {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} or {{game|Platinum}} (in Japan only) game cards using the Nintendo DS's connectivity. It is able to store up to 1,000 Pokémon at a time; however, the number rises to 1,500 after the Platinum update is applied.
*Pokémon and Miis can interact in full 3D on the Wii. A Pokémon's behavior in the ranch can be determined by the Pokémon's [[nature]], [[moves]], etc.
*The player is able to take pictures at any time when on the ranch and save them to the message board or a SD card. Taking pictures of objects can be made easier by applying a Focus Lock or spinning the screen around using the Nunchuk.
*Using WiiConnect24, the player can send pictures he or she has taken on the ranch to other friends.
*On occasions, the player and [[Hayley]] can trade Pokémon on the ranch. Her traded Pokémon can be withdrawn onto the player's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} or {{game|Platinum}} game card.
*A Pokémon's {{shiny2}} coloring and [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] are visible in the game.
*If a Pokémon came from a special place or is level 100, they will sparkle in a green and blue hue, respectively.

==Pokémon==
[[Image:Yukari.png|250px|thumb|left|Hayley]]
===Wanted Pokémon===
[[Image:RanchRequestGliscor.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Details on how to catch a Wanted Pokémon]]
Once a player has stored Pokémon for the first time, Hayley will take the player's Pokédex data and from it, request "Wanted Pokémon", Pokémon that are typically not yet in the player's Pokédex (although once the player has caught a lot of Pokémon, she may request one that the player has already caught). The game will provide the player with all the information on acquiring the listed Pokémon, including information on a Pokémon's pre-evolved form, and if an item is needed to evolve it, where that item can be found. This can be used to both assist and motivate said player into completing their Pokédex. The player is given 10 days to acquire this Pokémon until the post is removed and a new one is made. "Wanted Pokémon" requests are tied to specific game cards, if one trainer deposits a Pokémon that is on another's wanted list, nothing will happen. If all of a player's Wanted posts expire, Hayley will occasionally ask the player to connect their DS so new ones can be made.

===Hayley's Trades===
{{main|Hayley's trades}}

Whenever the player brings in one of the "Wanted Pokémon", Hayley will offer to trade one of her Pokémon for it, and the Pokémon received will be one of the following twenty and will know a TM, egg move, or have something else that makes them unique.

All of these Pokémon will have the [[Original Trainer|OT]] Hayley (English) or ユカリ (Japanese) and the [[Trainer ID number]] 01000. Note that all of the Pokémon with specific natures cannot have a different nature, gender, and ability and they cannot be shiny.

===Special Pokémon===
These two Pokémon are only available once some requirements are filled. Once 250 Pokémon are present on the ranch, the ranch will expand and jump to a new level. When this level is obtained, Hayley will add a new Pokémon to the "Wanted" board, {{p|Leafeon}}. When Leafeon is brought to the ranch, she will offer to trade it for her {{p|Phione}}. When 999 Pokémon are present, the ranch will expand and jump to level 25, the maximum level. Once this level is obtained, a new wanted Pokémon will be added. Hayley is now asking for any [[Pokémon egg]]. When the egg is brought, she will offer to trade it for her Mew.

==Toys==
Toys for Pokémon and Miis to play with are delivered to the ranch every day. The type of toys delivered randomly changes every day and the amount of toys depends on the size of the ranch. Each toy comes in a present box which must be picked up and dropped to open. The following is a list of toys available in My Pokémon Ranch:

* Attractor - A magnetic device that Miis can use to draw Pokémon to them.
* Balloons - Balloons that a Pokémon can attach to their head in order to fly around
* Bonfire - A fire that Pokémon and Miis can watch. Pokémon and Miis that get to close to it can be burned. Pokémon weak to the fire type are naturally scared of the Bonfire
* Bounce back ball - A ball that, true to its name, bounces back to whoever touches it
* Burst ball - A large round explosive that explodes whenever Pokémon touch it, sending them flying.
* Challenger - A dummy for Pokémon to use their attacks on.
* Fountain - A water fountain that, when Pokémon or Miis jump on, increases in power to give them a brief lift.
* Leader Flag - A flag that Miis can use to lead a parade of Pokémon.
* Parade Drum - A drum that Miis can use to lead a parade of Pokémon.
* Pitfall - A hole that Pokémon and Miis can jump into. They return falling from the sky.
* Poké bell - A mii can use this to attract pokemon with a ringing noise.
* Poké cushion - This can be placed on a Miis head so that pokemon can jump and rest on it.
* Poké microphone - A Microphone that Pokémon can cry into. Their cries into the microphone will be heard through the Wii Remote's speaker
* Poké pendulum - A pendulum that attracts pokemon with a hypnotic effect.
* Poké rocket - Pokemon can jump inside. Then, when the rocket aims, it launches the pokemon.
* Pokémon pallet - A pallet that when used by a Pokémon, summons all of the Pokémon in a ranch to get together to form an image of the user's in-game sprite.
* Round rock - Pokemon can tackle the rock so that it moves. The Pokemon then try to dodge it. If they lose, they become run over and flattened.
* Slippery peel - A banana peel that trips Pokémon and Miis that step on it.
* Snowman - A Snowman that freezes Pokémon and Miis that get too close to it. Temporarily shrinks if a fire attack is used against it.
* Spin ride - It is shaped like a tree trunk. Pokemon and miis can jump on it and get a quick spin around.
* Spring stand - Pokemon can jump onto the stand and then will be sprung into the sky, landing not far away.
* Stinky ball - Miis can pick this up. Then a stench is released that repels wild pokemon and causes the Mii to become worried.
* Training bag - A bag with a target on it for Pokémon to use their attacks on.

==Club Look-See==
{{main|Club Look-See}}

[[Club Look-See]] is a group of people that will come to the Ranch and invite the player to see their ranch. Each member is assigned a number (#1, #2, and so on) and they will appear in order of their number. Each member's ranch has a certain theme, this means that each of their ranches is filled with a certain Pokémon. Each member's Mii also typically bears some resemblance to the Pokémon they have. These are special occurrences that will happen periodically.

==Platinum Update==
{{bad image|section}}
[[Image:Ranch-patch.PNG‎|thumb|right|My Pokémon Ranch leaflet]]

After [[Pokemon Platinum]] was released in Japan, an update was issued for the game.
JP Update: November 5, 2008
US Update: ???

In this update, the following features were added:
* You are now able to get your ranch to level 26, which will allow you to store 1500 pokemon, and extra 500.
* {{p|Giratina}} Origin Forme can added if it is holding {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}} when you deposit it.
* {{p|Shaymin}} Sky Forme can be added by touching the toy {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}}. Which, like all toys, can appear every once in a while.
* New {{p|Rotom}} forms can be added by depositing them when they are in that appliance.
* New toys & [[Club Look See]] members. Eleven new toys were added and the club members changed from 37 to 40.
* Revisit Club Look See ranches.
* You can now play the music from a menu of available songs.
* Twelve new animations can be played. Some new animations consist of battles between rivals, such as [[Zangoose]] and [[Seviper]], [[Dialga]] and [[Palkia]], and [[Darkrai]] and [[Cresselia]].
* Photos can be added to or from the SD card in bulk, instead of one at a time. You can also hold 30 pictures in your album.

It is unknown when the update for other language versions of the software will be released. '''Note that My Pokémon Ranch will not work with Platinum without this update'''.

===New Platinum Toys===
When Platinum Update was released, 11 new toys were added to the Ranch to use. Here is one of them, the others have yet to be released.
* Gracidea Flower - This flower will open up and allows Shaymin to turn into its Sky Forme.
* Birthday Cake - Celebrate your birthday. Confetti falls from the sky around the cake.
* Magnet - You can use the magnet to pick up more than 1 pokemon at a time
* Tree

===New Platinum Animations===
When Platinum Update was released, 12 new animations were added to the Ranch. Here are the animations. At the moment, they aren't in order. Like before, they occur every 15 minutes.

*18. Wrestling Tournament - Need Hariyama and Makuhita
*27. Surf - Water pokemon use surf to cover the ranch in water. Then the swim and jump through the water.
*28. Dialga VS Palkia
* Zangoose VS Seviper
* Darkrai VS Cresselia
* Rotom Formes

==Reception==
My Pokemon Ranch received generally negative reviews. The largest criticisms of the game was the lack of interaction with the game,[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/wiiware-my-pokemon-ranch-and-pop-review] and the fact that the player has to own a copy of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} for the majority of the game's features to be accessible.[http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/881/881343p1.html] In addition, some reviewers criticized the game's Mii-like graphics, with IGN calling it "the ugliest Pokémon game to hit any video game system".[http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/881/881343p1.html] The game received an average score of 47% on [http://www.metacritic.com/search/process.shtml?page=3&sid=MTIzMDk4MzM1OTU2Ny44MjUxNzcz&sort=relevance&ts=pokemon&y=7&termType=all&ty=3&x=19 Metacritic.]

==Trivia==
*Hayley appears in the [[Generation IV]] games in [[Pokémon Super Contests]] with her {{p|Buneary}} named "Floppy". This is a reference to her Buneary in this game that players can trade another Pokémon for and transfer to the DS.

====Dialga in Hia Valley!?====
[[Image:Batonnage dialga.PNG|left|thumb|Dialga in Hia Valley!?|190px]]
{{p|Dialga}} has disrupted the flow of time, sending the player and {{ra|Wendy}} back in time to before the player's family has moved to [[Chicole Village]]. Apparently, the injured Dialga used {{m|Roar of Time}} on the player and Wendy to protect itself. Dialga is found in the [[Almia Castle]], right by the {{p|Riolu}} statues. This is where Wendy and the player must go in order to capture it so that they could treat it and go back to their own time. However, Dialga will use Roar of Time once again if the capture takes too long, sending the player back to Chicole Village.

====Palkia in Haruba Desert!?====
[[Image:Batonnage palkia.PNG|thumb|right|Palkia in Haruba Desert|190px]]
{{p|Palkia}}'s presence starts to distort the fabric of space in [[Almia]]. This causes the Pokémon to appear in places they usually don't and other odd things, such as fishermen fishing by sand and lava. This also causes the player to go to a different place when one goes to another place through things such as doors. The player will have to capture Palkia in the basement of [[Hippowdon Temple]] so that Palkia could be treated and the distortions could be fixed. During this mission, both [[Sven]] and [[Henry]] accompany the player.
{{-}}

====For the Bride and Shaymin!====
[[Erma]] and [[Professor Hastings]] receive an invitation on behalf of the player. It turns out that [[Ollie]] and [[Elaine]] are getting married! The player, Hastings, and the other rangers come and celebrate, but Team Dim Sun Remnants show up, trying to steal the bride's bouquet. It turns out the bouquet is none other than a {{p|Shaymin}}. Team Dim Sun wants to get it in order to sell the rare Pokémon for a huge amount of money to buy new weapons for the team.

Shaymin flees, and the player is assigned to return Shaymin, whose tendency is to hide with flowers. To make things more difficult, there are flowers all over the [[Pueltown|town]] shaped like Shaymin! The player, Hastings, and the other rangers leave the couple behind. They are not the only ones looking, though, as Team Dim Sun also wants to find it. During the first encounter of the scared Shaymin, the player will have to capture an {{p|Absol}} and {{p|Umbreon}}. On the second encounter, the player will have to capture a {{p|Roserade}} and two {{p|Bellossom}}. After that, Team Dim Sun manages to corner Shaymin on the bridge, who, out of anger, attacks them. The player then has to capture it to calm it down. After that everyone returns to the wedding, Shaymin will shower the place with flowers as a sign of gratitude and disappear.

Henry

2009-04-17T19:20:20Z

Anoritian:

'''Henry''' is a [[non-player character]] in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}.

He is first met in [[Haruba Village]], with a [[Gigaremo unit]] which he has mistaken for a coffee machine. He then mistakes the Pokémon Claydol as a new unit of Gigaremo.

In the [[Ranger Net]] mission, {{DL|Ranger Net|Palkia in Haruba Desert!?}}, he follows [[Sven]] and the {{player}} through the spatially torn [[Almia]] to find {{p|Palkia}}. During this, he gains a new life dream of travelling with his son, Hank.

It is also revealed that Henry has protected Haruba Village his entire life.

HM slave

2009-04-16T12:52:08Z

Anoritian:

An '''HM Slave''', also referred to as an '''HM Mule''', is a term for a [[Pokémon]] who is not trained for {{pkmn|battle}} and instead stays on a {{player}}'s [[party|team]] to use [[HM]] [[move]]s outside of battle to traverse the game. This is due, for the most part, to the fact that many of the moves learned through HMs deal little damage or have no worth on a powerful team of Pokémon.

Most HM slaves are common Pokémon, particularly those which can be captured early and can be taught many of the HM moves. This often falls into the hands of several extremely common {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, since the moves {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Flash}} and {{m|Rock Climb}} are their type, and they can usually learn the {{type2|Fighting}} HM move {{m|Rock Smash}} as well. {{type2|Water}} Pokémon are also common HM slaves due to the appearance of such HMs as {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Waterfall}} and {{m|Dive}}. Because of these two trends, {{p|Bibarel}} is often considered the ideal HM slave by many fans.

{{type2|Flying}} Pokémon also sometimes act as HM slaves, since the move {{m|Fly}} is possibly the most useful move for traveling and, while a better combat move than several other HMs, is not always desired on a trained fighter. This became more common with the introduction of {{m|Defog}} in [[Generation IV]], which is considered by fans to be the least useful HM move to date, both in combat and in the field. {{p|Lugia}} and [[Mew]], therefore, are good HM Slaves, as they can learn all {{t|Flying}}- and {{type2|Water}} HMs; however, their legendary status makes it more likely to be saved for battle.

'''Slowbro''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドラン''' ''Yadoran'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Slowpoke}} starting at [[level]] 37.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Slowbro are physically slightly different Slowpoke, with a {{p|Shellder}} latched to its tail on a symbiotic, almost parasitic relationship with the Slowbro. The extra weight on its tail turned the Slowpoke bipedal. As a result of carrying this burden, its special abilities were developed greatly. Through the symbiotic relationship, the latched Shellder grows in a spiral shell instead of a bivalve. If for any reason it loses its Shellder, it will result in the Slowbro returning to its former Slowpoke self.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Since it cannot fish anymore, it now has to catch prey. It is therefore, slightly faster than an ordinary Slowpoke, and is significantly more powerful. The most notable changes in Slowbro's movepool is the addition of physical fighting moves, such as {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Ice Punch}} and {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

===Behavior===
Used to dozing off at shorelines and lakesides waiting for fish to bite the tip of its tail, the extra burden of a {{p|Shellder}} turned this Pokémon fisher into a hunter, against its own will.

===Habitat===

Slowbro tend to live near ponds, lakes and seashores.

[[Image:EP066shot.jpg|thumb|right|A Slowpoke with a {{TP|Jessie|Shellder}} on its tail that didn't evolve yet]]

A Slowpoke that {{Ash}}'s missing Pokémon asked for help evolved at the end of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

[[Professor Westwood V]] had a Slowbro that evolved from a Slowpoke in ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''.

[[Lorelei|Prima]] used a Slowbro to help {{Ash}} get his {{AP|Charizard}} under control in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''.

Several Slowpoke evolve to Slowbro in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.

A Slowbro has appeared in ''[[AG179|May, We Hardly Drew'd Ya!]]'', under the ownership of [[Solidad]].

==In the manga==
[[Lorelei]] uses a Slowbro as part of her team in [[Pokémon Special]]. With the {{p|Shellder}} clamped onto its tail, Lorelei explains that her Slowbro has sharpened senses and is capable of looking in all directions, thanks to the extra pair of eyes, allowing it to discover {{Special|Blue}}'s ploy using {{p|Horsea}}.

==Trivia==
* Despite it being a commonly known and accepted fact that {{p|Shellder}} triggers the evolution, mentioned in most of its Pokédex entries, Slowbro's evolution from Slowpoke has nothing to do with Shellder in the games, unlike the evolution of [[Mantyke]].
* Slowbro's Pokédex entries imply that if the Shellder is removed, it will revert to its Slowpoke form. It is never mentioned what happens to the Shellder afterwards.
*Many Pokémon are noted to evolve by two or more Pokémon combining, such as {{p|Metang}} being formed by two {{p|Beldum}}. However, the {{pkmn|anime}} does not show this and simply spawns the second Pokémon out of nowhere: an example is Morrison's Beldum, which simply evolved into Metang without the need of joining to another Beldum. The evolution of Slowpoke into Slowbro is the only time that evolution by two Pokémon physically merging is shown.

===Origin===
Slowbro's shell and lifestyle are somewhat similar to hermit crabs. Slowbro's appearance may also be based on a {{wp|pygmy hippopotamus}}.
====Name origin====
Slowbro's name is a combination of ''slow'' and ''bro'', short for ''brother''. It may just be used in a general sense, in the same way someone would say "hey, brother!" It could also refer to the brotherly relationship shared by the combined form of {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}}, or to the fact that it is somewhat based on a '''hermit''' crab, as seen on its Pokédex species.

''Yadoran'' may be taken to mean 宿らん, to not lodge/dwell. It is also possible that the ''yado'' comes from 宿借り ''yadokari'', {{wp|hermit crab}}, or 宿主 ''yadonushi'', (parasitic) host. Also, 鈍感 ''donkan'' means thickheaded or solid, and 鈍 ''don'' means slow, dull, or stupid.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Lahmus - From ''lahm'' (slow) and ''Muschel'' (shell or clam).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Flagadoss - From ''flagada'' (soft, weak) and ''molosse'' (big dog).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 야도란 ''Yadoran''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 大呆獸 - Literally "big slow-witted creature" (as opposed to Slowpoke being little slow-witted creature).

[[Image:EP066shot.jpg|thumb|right|A Slowpoke with a {{TP|Jessie|Shellder}} on its tail that didn't evolve yet]]

A Slowpoke that {{Ash}}'s missing Pokémon asked for help evolved at the end of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

[[Professor Westwood V]] had a Slowbro that evolved from a Slowpoke in ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''.

[[Lorelei|Prima]] used a Slowbro to help {{Ash}} get his {{AP|Charizard}} under control in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''.

Several Slowpoke evolve to Slowbro in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.

A Slowbro has appeared in ''[[AG179|May, We Hardly Drew'd Ya!]]'', under the ownership of [[Solidad]].

==In the manga==
[[Lorelei]] uses a Slowbro as part of her team in [[Pokémon Special]]. With the {{p|Shellder}} clamped onto its tail, Lorelei explains that her Slowbro has sharpened senses and is capable of looking in all directions, thanks to the extra pair of eyes, allowing it to discover {{Special|Blue}}'s ploy using {{p|Horsea}}.

|redbluedex=The {{P|Shellder}} that latches onto {{P|Slowpoke}}'s tail is said to feed on the host's leftover scraps.
|yellowdex=Lives lazily by the sea. If the Shellder on its tail comes off, it becomes a Slowpoke again.
|stadiumdex=If its tail is bitten by a {{P|Shellder}}, {{P|Slowpoke}} evolves into Slowbro. The {{P|Shellder}} seems to like its crunchy tail.
|golddex=If the tail-biting {{P|Shellder}} is thrown off in a harsh battle, it reverts to being an ordinary {{P|Slowpoke}}.
|silverdex=Naturally dull to begin with, it lost its ability to feel pain due to Shellder's seeping poison.
|crystaldex=An attached {{P|Shellder}} won't let go because of the tasty flavor that oozes out of its tail.
|stadium2dex=If the tail-biting {{P|Shellder}} is thrown off in a harsh battle, it reverts to being an ordinary {{P|Slowpoke}}.
|rubydex=Slowbro's tail has a {{P|Shellder}} firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can't be used for fishing anymore. This causes Slowbro to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead.
|sapphiredex=Slowbro's tail has a Shellder firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can't be used for fishing anymore. This causes Slowbro to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead.
|emeralddex=Its tail has a {{P|Shellder}} firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can't be used for fishing anymore. This forces it to reluctantly swim and catch prey.
|firereddex=When a {{P|Slowpoke}} went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a {{P|Shellder}}. That made it evolve into Slowbro.
|leafgreendex=The {{P|Shellder}} that latches onto {{P|Slowpoke}}'s tail is said to feed on the host's leftover scraps.
|diamonddex=Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the {{P|Shellder}} on its tail bites down.
|pearldex=Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the {{P|Shellder}} on its tail bites down.

==Trivia==
* Despite it being a commonly known and accepted fact that {{p|Shellder}} triggers the evolution, mentioned in most of its Pokédex entries, Slowbro's evolution from Slowpoke has nothing to do with Shellder in the games, unlike the evolution of {{Mantyke}}.
* Slowbro's Pokédex entries imply that if the Shellder is removed, it will revert to its Slowpoke form. It is never mentioned what happens to the Shellder afterwards.
*Many Pokémon are noted to evolve by two or more Pokémon combining, such as {{p|Metang}} being formed by two {{p|Beldum}}. However, the {{pkmn|anime}} does not show this and simply spawns the second Pokémon out of nowhere: an example is Morrison's Beldum, which simply evolved into Metang without the need of joining to another Beldum. The evolution of Slowpoke into Slowbro is the only time that evolution by two Pokémon physically merging is shown.

===Origin===
Slowbro's shell and lifestyle are somewhat similar to hermit crabs. Slowbro's appearance may also be based on a {{wp|pygmy hippopotamus}}.
====Name origin====
Slowbro's name is a combination of ''slow'' and ''bro'', short for ''brother''. It may just be used in a general sense, in the same way someone would say "hey, brother!" It could also refer to the brotherly relationship shared by the combined form of {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}}, or to the fact that it is somewhat based on a '''hermit''' crab, as seen on its Pokédex species.

''Yadoran'' may be taken to mean 宿らん, to not lodge/dwell. It is also possible that the ''yado'' comes from 宿借り ''yadokari'', {{wp|hermit crab}}, or 宿主 ''yadonushi'', (parasitic) host. Also, 鈍感 ''donkan'' means thickheaded or solid, and 鈍 ''don'' means slow, dull, or stupid.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Lahmus - From ''lahm'' (slow) and ''Muschel'' (shell or clam).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Flagadoss - From ''flagada'' (soft, weak) and ''molosse'' (big dog).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 야도란 ''Yadoran''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 大呆獸 - Literally "big slow-witted creature" (as opposed to Slowpoke being little slow-witted creature).

'''Gardevoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サーナイト''' ''Sirnight'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kirlia}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is one of the final forms of {{p|Ralts}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The mini-skirt that Gardevoir had as a Kirlia is now an elegant ballroom gown. Gardevoir has long, slender, white legs underneath the gown. It gives the impression that it is levitating gracefully above the ground. Gardevoir's arms are now green and the red fin-like horns it had on its head as Ralts/Kirlia have now moved to its chest and its back.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Gardevoir can sense the feelings of people and other Pokémon. It can also see the {{m2|Future Sight|future}} clearly.

===Behavior===
Gardevoir are known widely for their loyalty to their trainers, even to the point of sacrificing their own life for them. In the wild they go in family groups, caring heavily for their young.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gardevoir anime.PNG|right|thumb|Gardevoir in the anime]]
Gardevoir's first appearance was in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''. It was the parent of the sick {{TP|Max|Ralts}} that [[Max]] and [[Ash's Snorunt]] were taking to the [[Pokémon Center]].

Its most recent appearance was in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]''. It belonged to a girl named [[Melodi]] and then was stolen by Pokémon Hunter [[J]]. It proved to have a deep {{t|psychic}} connection with its trainer and was able to hear her through thought.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Gardevoir (TCG)}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Gardevoir is the spirit of a Pokémon who sacrificed herself for her trainer. She comes to the player in their dreams, explaining things and generally appearing after important periods in the game. She is revived later in the game, but doesn't remember anything about her previous life.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Gardevoir is one of the members of Team Charm.
* [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]: When summoned, it will go across the stage using {{m|Barrier}} to protect the summoner (and teammates) from projectile attacks.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=psychic
|gen=3

===Sprites===
{{Sprite|
type=psychic|

==Trivia==
*Out of the three original stages of {{p|Ralts}}, Gardevoir is the only one that had its name changed in the English version.
*Despite its human-like appearance, it isn't in the {{egg|Humanshape}} egg group.
*In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Gardevoir displays the ability of levitation/flight. With the {{a|Trace}} ability, this is possible.
*Gardevoir's number in the [[sdex|Sinnoh Dex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[adex|Almia Browser]] is the same: 159. This makes it and its evolution family one of only five families of Pokémon (comprising thirteen Pokémon altogether) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
*Because its 2D sprites depict it as floating and do not show its legs, Gardevoir could be mistaken as not having legs. To the same effect, in [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Gardevoir's legs are so thin that they can barely be seen.
*Gardevoir is one of the few NPC's to appear in both [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] Games, the others including [[Wigglytuff]], [[Kecleon]] and [[Kangakhan]].

===Origin===
Gardevoir resembles a {{wp|ballroom dance}}r. Its exaggerated head with minimal facial expression and an overall frail, featureless physique could also be attributed to ''anesama ningyou'', a style of traditional Japanese paper doll. Considering its protective nature to its trainer, it could also be based on a guardian angel.

====Name origin====
Gardevoir's name may be a combination of ''garde'' (French for "guard") and ''devoir'' (French for "to be required to"). This is reflected on its Pokédex data, which explains how Gardevoir will protect its Trainer even at the cost of its own life. Its Japanese name may be taken to mean さあ、ナイト ''saa, naito'' ("come, night").

|region=Sinnoh
|entrance=Spear Pillar, Turnback Cave
|generation={{gen|IV}}
}}

The '''Distortion World''' (Japanese: '''やぶれたせかい''' ''Torn World'') is a location in {{game|Platinum}}, and the true home of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Giratina}}.

The Distortion World is first accessed when the player reaches the summit of [[Mt. Coronet]], [[Spear Pillar]], to stop [[Team Galactic]]'s plot to control {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. When the [[lake trio]] are unable to handle both of them, Giratina comes and swoops on [[Cyrus]] to stop him from destroying both worlds. After Cyrus is taken away by Giratina, the {{player}} must follow him, and, with the help of Mesprit, Azelf, Uxie and Cynthia, navigate the area.

More of the 3D capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS]] are utilized in the Distortion World than elsewhere in Sinnoh, with the strange physics of the world altered to a point where the player is able to walk on floors and {{m|Surf}} on water that is at right angles with the norm, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}.

When in the Distortion World, {{p|Giratina}} will be in its true form, the [[Origin Forme]]. The [[Griseous Orb]], found here, can be used to make Giratina assume this form outside of the Distortion World, where it would normally be in its [[Altered Forme]].

During the {{player}}'s first trip to the Distortion World in Platinum, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Uxie}} will guide them around, helping them in the {{m|Strength}} puzzle.

==Geography==
The Distortion World is said to be another universe or world parallel to the {{g|world}}. Two known gateways to it exist: one at the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] on [[Spear Pillar]], and another in [[Turnback Cave]].

It is a dark place with platforms floating at many different angles. The world disobeys the normal {{wp|laws of physics}}: time does not flow and spatial relations are irregular, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is Giratina.

[[Cynthia]] and [[Cyrus]] theorize that this world was created by Giratina as a balance for the real world.

==Item==
* [[Griseous Orb]] (after defeating the [[Elite Four]])

==Trivia==
* An anime-exclusive place, the [[Reverse World]], ''may'' be the anime version of the Distortion World; both locations are home only to {{p|Giratina}} (in its Origin Forme).
*Although time is said to not flow here, events affected by time, such as {{p|Eevee}}'s evolution to {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}}, still occur, and the [[Pokétch]]'s clock continues to run.
*During the first visit in the Distornion World, the protagonist will have to surf up a waterfall, yet the HM Waterfall is not needed.
